I started walking in the hospital the night of the surgery--2 slow laps. Once I got home, I started walking through the house (house is kind of long--I did figure 8's!) for 15 minutes & after 2 days, I'd walk 15 minutes twice a day. I was so afraid of the idea of a blood clot, so I was pumping my feet a lot & walking around. Now trying to walk 30 min a day outside or at the mall lol!

I'm keeping track of food & weight on my fitness pal--it's so easy once you put the nutritional info in b/c we tend to eat or drink a lot of the same things & you just have to enter the info once.

My stats:

Pre-surgery 268 (2 wks Protein shakes)

Day of surgery 253

A little weight gain w/ swelling & IV fluids

2 weeks 245

3 weeks 237 (stall)

4 weeks 235 (stall)

5 weeks 234 (stall)

6 weeks 228

Way to go. :) Looks like you hit the 3 week stall. ;) but you seem to be taking it in stride.

Also, congrats on the tracking! That has been a key to my success. The surgery is a fantastic tool, but the exercise and using MFP EVERYDAY, that is ALL YOU! Get into the good habits now and it will make succeeding in the long run so much easier.

I am 10 weeks out and down 50 lbs it is so wonderful!!! I continue to stay between 850-900 cals because I want to lose 20-25 more. It really is life changing in different ways. I do not have the pain in my hips or knees as I did and I get to buy smaller clothes plus get compliments almost everyday. Best of all I am off my cholesterol medication and my GERD medication,

      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!
