My surgery was June 24th



Recommended Posts

I have cravings for foods. But I haven't been hungry yet... really disappointed in no weight loss yet :-(

How are you doing now? Was your BMI low sometimes that plays a part in the weight loss hope u r doing better.

Well 3 weeks post surgery I was down 20 pounds. My bmi was 44 to start with... which I don't think is all that low, but definitely lower then some. I can't wait to get cleared to go to the gym, hopefully the 23rd at my 1 month check up! Feeling really good though. Been adding more and more foods back into my diet. Sometimes the amount I can't eat leaves me short on Protein so still on shakes as well. Switched to regular adult Vitamins as well instead of kids chewables. I've been taking Centrum specialist energy... does wonders! Hope everyone else is doing good! Any complications for anyone yet?

Surgery was June 24th, did the liquid diet for week and then I left for long drive from southern Illinois to chicken, Ak. Found it hard to get Soup at cafés and then the pre made shakes are way to sweet. Now on puréed food and I have learned that to spicy foods really give me heart burn. Go in this Friday to see how I've done. No scales in sight. I do know I went to size 20w to 18w. Oh, and yes if u take those extra two bites u think u want. U will find urself puking. Well at least I did.

I had my surgery on the 25th of June and I am feeling great! I am starting to test out different foods and I have found spicy food is not my friend! I have been craving flavor after eating eggs for about a week straight. Haven't puked yet...thank goodness! Hopefully I can get rid of these next 2 pounds and begin to enjoy ONEderland! It has been so long since I have seen those numbers on a scale!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
