I am waiting to get discharged now. Got sleeved first thing Tuesday morning. Had some pain but nothing too terrible. I might have used the pain pump 5 times.

The worst part for me was that I couldn't pee after surgery and they had to drain my bladder with a straight catheter. Ouch! Ever since then I have been a peeing machine.

I could handle Water but not the hospital food. The kept bringing in Protein Jello. I ate one. I've never had jello before. I won't ever again.

I'm looking forward to get home to a shake.

Good luck to everyone!

Yay! I'm July 29th. (Florida). Also nervous! Especially reading some of these July posts from the people that had it done earlier this month. Some doing great- some with some issues. Let's hope for great :) have my preop with pcp Monday, Tuesday with surgeon. Also have to sneak in a chest X-ray and EKG, blood work. It's coming up quick ! Next week I'll be busy ! And probably drinking liquids only :0 when do you start liquids?

I'm going to order some now. Is it powder you put in broth? Is there a special way to mix it?

You can use Water or broth, I prefer it with broth.

      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!
