@@cmhueto I am the founder and admin for the FB groups, it is a closed group because if I make it secret I have to be "friends" with every one to be able to add them. With it being a closed group people can search for it and seek out the support. Yes IF someone wants to search for the group to see the list of (over130 members) to see your name then yes they can. But NO they can not see anything that is said or that goes on in the group. I do have some member of the

If you would like to join search FB for "San Diego Kaiser Bariatric WLS support group" or "San Diego Pacific Bariatric support group" you should get a message from me (Kendra) asking how you heard about the group and if you are pre or post op. These simple questions help me to weed out people that are not interested in the group but just trying to troll.

also your calorie intake looks about right for 12 weeks out. I know it is hard for people to fathom pre-op but your calories for the first 6 months or so are very low. Your main focus is on that Protein shake and your fluids. I still drink 2 shakes a day. I also go to Kay's nutrition class often, she helped me to feel confident that I was doing things right at each phase. Kay Rethwisch 858-573-5229 you can also call Pacific Bariatric any time you don't know if something is right or if you are not feeling quite right. the post-op questions number is 619-298-9931

Good job and keep up the good work 42 lbs is awesome! be proud of your progress!!

      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.

        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!
