What makes you think this? There's differing opinions but no matter what - there's no reason to worry if you stick with your plan. Who really wants to take a chance that it does actually stretch?

I see you're about a week out from surgery. During this time liquid goes down easy and your really don't feel the restriction till you are on more solid food. Don't stress over it now.

When you're off liquids It's important not to eat till you feel full but till you're satisfied. Measure and weigh everything you eat and stick to your plan.

This is all new and you will learn the read the signs your body gives you. Everyone is different :)

I have read some blogs where people are 7 weeks out and they can eat as much food as they use to.

1. don't believe everything you read on the internet ;-)

2. I have never even tried to eat what I ate before. I keep my portions small and I am satisfied. so, if you don't try you won't need to worry over it.

I had surgery 4 months ago. I went to the seminar about a year and a half ago and had to wait on a medical issue before I could have surgery.

It's important to measure your food and eat only the amount recommended. You should be satisfied and won't overeat.

When do you begin to feel stable or yourself again?

      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!
