That mite be tmi.lol make sure to walk walk and walk some more my gas pain went away because I walked alot in the hospital. I'm sore but not in alot of pain still nausea but I take meds before trying to drink anything other than Water. Make sure to do the breathing exercises the last thing anyone wants it chest pains from pneumonia. All this is temporary so keep your heads up and everything will subside eventually. Go luck guys! If any wants prayers let me know. Thank to everyone who prayed for me. :)

Oh my Lord 106 lbs!!!! You rock!!!!!!!

This is so inspiring! I was just getting a little down on myself today, thinking why do I have to cut away 80% of my stomach to control my weight/health. How I've failed at this weight loss thing so many times. I'm also thinking what if I die - should I do this?! I'm getting scared!

But the odds are on my side and I know in the long run it will be worth it! Deep breaths!

Most of us have those same thoughts. And honestly I still worry about if I'm going to lose more if this stall is it for me. I really didn't tell people I was having surgery because I was ashamed I couldn't lose the weight myself. But one thing I can say is better now than never. Who cares how you lose it or how you gained it as long as you do your best moving forward.

      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!
