Recommended Posts

No pain, just SUPER grossed out by all the drinking. I feel very hungry, nothing satisfies. Little regret today, I'm sure out will pass

I'm scared of this feeling, too. But... knowing that there is light at the end of the crappy beginning tunnel keeps me going to getting the surgery. Each day you will get better and better. Remember, your stomache is in a state of shock right now. Keep at it!!! It's ok to have the feelings of regret, but once you are recovered in a few weeks you will LOVE your sleeve!! AND THE NEW YOU!!!!

It is hard to drink all the Protein stuff. I'm about 2.5 weeks out, and it got better again for me. I was sooooo over the shakes when i was around where you are and for several days on and off, but it's been getting better for me lately because it's now just what I have to do, so I don't think about it as much. I also got to start purees so I had a quarter cup of greek yogurt w/ Protein powder friday, and refried Beans yesterday and today along with the Protein Shakes. I don't see myself being able to get my Protein in without them for quite some time, so they are just going to be part of life for a while for me. I hope tomorrow is a better day!

I'm 3 days in and feel sick, headache, and very hungry. shakes 2xs a day, veggies and some fruit only. I'm thinking there has to be a better way. Surgery is 1/5. Now I'm not sure.

Hang in there! The head hunger is one of the toughest stages but once you get to the purée stage you will start to feel better. Take it slow and remember this is a life long journey that you will be so happy you are a part of.

      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!
