Random question - do any of you have an irrational fear of "What if the Gastric Sleeve doesn't work on me like everyone else?" I am 1 week post-op (woot-woot) and can't shake the feeling! I haven't weighed myself but can already see in my face that I have lost some weight yet I still have this voice in my head asking "what if I only lose 30lbs and it stops..." This is crazy right?

Capi, I posted earlier that I went for my one week post-op and I did not lose a pound... NOT POUND after being on a liquid diet of 150-250 calories a day. I know used to eat that many calories in a bite! So, yeah, I've had that fear and it was almost like it came true this first week! But I have lost since then.

I think, instead of talking & planning about making a chance to my life, I REALLY made a change and I have the scars to prove it, so if this doesn't work, what now?

I think that's pretty normal, after all we've all done other things that have worked for our friends or friends of friends.

Hang in there!

Alright - I "may" have chewed and then spit out a spoonful of veggies and rice from the tortilla Soup broth I "ate" tonight..... :rolleyes:

I did the same with a piece of yummy crisp Italian bread that came with my boring broth last night. Gotta do what ya gotta do. 2 more days with Clear Liquids.

      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!
