Day 4 post surgery. I am feeling better everyday. I've lost the weight I gained in the hospital and an additional 4 pounds. No nausea or vomiting but I am using pain meds. Pain is not severe, more "uncomfortable". And I tire out quickly if I do a lot. How are you doing?

I was sleeved on the 28th as well. Thankfully not having any problems with drinking Water or Protein Shake other then I can only sip small amounts at a time. The worst part about it is the pain when getting up or sitting down but each day it is lessening.

I was sleeved on that day as well. I feel sore but all is well otherwise. The first night oat op was horrid such pain. I cried and thought I made a mistake. Today a few days later I'm better. Tie rating liquids well... About to be discharged in a few hours o begin my new life.

I feel excited and hopeful about the future..

Day six- off pain meds down from sw of 214 to 205. I feel hunger pangs but they are usually quelled by some Protein. I cringe when I get on the scale (out of habit.) I still expect to see no weight loss like my endless diets of old. Hope my September buddies are doing well.

      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!
