HW 336

SW 312

CW 270

My surgery was July 23, I'm a little over 8 weeks out. I feel amazing but I keep having stalls, for 2 weeks at a time. It's frustrating. I'm down from a size 34 to a 24 and from a 5 x to a very loose 3x shirt.

@@mamie60 and @@pik - hey!!!! I am doing well! My eating is faaaar from where it should be, so I need to get better with that. I've also lost focus on keeping up with my Vitamins and other supplements. I think I got to a point where I spend so much time thinking about what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, what pill to take a what time, blah blah blah. I'm due to see my doctor and nutritionist later today for my follow up, and I fully expect to get scolded for my behavior. Mentally, it's been a bit tough because there are so many stressful things that have happened in the last 60 days - it's truly shown me how much of my eating is mental. Luckily, I still can only eat about 1/2-3/4 cup at any one sitting, and I try to keep myself moving so I don't have enough time to think about all the crap going on. I hit my 60 pounds down mark today and am glad about that. I'm sure it could have been more had my eating and intake been better, but I'm happy with where I am. I've also noticed that the faster I lose, the more I look like a melted candle - not cute! LOL Physically - I feel fabulous! Lots of energy and have been doing more walking than I used to - another happy point. So for now, I'm good. Hopeful to when things can settle down and some of the stress ease up :-)

You know I am lucky to get in my Multivitamins every day and I am surely not getting the calories, Protein, and liquid that I need. I am having another endoscopy next week some time. Hopefully we can work this all out!!

Pik, I am really worried about you. I was just in the hospital for 4 days because I couldn't eat or drink. And, just before that visit, I was in the hospital. My dr. Takes it very seriously if you can't eat or drink. They gave me I.V. Fluids and Vitamins around the clock. Don't let yourself get dehydrated, you could end up in intensive care. Don't hesitate to go to the ER, they can give you fluids if you are dehydrated. Just worried about you. Keep me posted on how you are doing.

      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!
