I'm six months out...i can eat an entire McDonald's cheeseburger in 15 minutes... can you? I know it's not the right thing to eat but dang it one bite turned into another and then it was gone. My girlfriend had the surgery six years ago and can't eat one that quick.

For me it's one day to the next. Some days I'm hungry and can eat more, faster. Other days it'll take me an hour to finish a toddler portion!

Are you talking about the kids size cheeseburger? I'm two years out and I could maybe eat it if I took the top half of the bun off. I can eat 2/3 of a quarter pounder with none of the bun or 2/3 of a Son of Baconator from Wendy's with none of the bun. And, BTW, these are things I eat like 4 times/year when I actually go to a city with fast food restaurants. It's a rare treat of junk food.

It's from the dollar menu? I don't know if it's kids size. I definitely eat less but I don't have the kind of restriction you have

Sounds like you were pretty hungry and had the excess room to do it. I wouldn't stress about eating it that quickly as long as your sleeve isn't bringing you to your knees asking for forgiveness.

I could probably eat a half of one. I'm a year out. It might make me puke if I tried to eat the whole thing. Hamburgers are tough for me.

I can eat the dollar cheeseburger (300 cals, as I recall) now easily at 15+ months post-op. I'm definitely full afterward.

As I recall, at 6 months post-op eating the whole thing was a big deal. I could do it (I think), but it was not nearly as easy as now.

If I skipped the bun I could eat about 3/4 of the patty. DH is 5 months out and could eat almost an entire dollar menu cheeseburger if he's really hungry. Feeling good afterwards is another story.

      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!
