I started the Vitamins pre op. Wanted it to be a habit before it needed to be. I also bought frozen weight watcher meals and ate them. Sort of like Nutri System but buying it locally. I used them for two meals a day, and I lost 26 pounds in about two months. I would always cut it up into small pieces and eat as slow as I could, tried for twenty minutes, and always felt satisfied. Good luck to you. Plus I walked everyday.

. You see I feel the same hopefully I'm going to start on my Vitamin routine and I did just join a gym so hopefully I will reach my goal I do feel like I lack some energy so I'm hoping the vitamins would help

      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!
