I was really bummed when got on scale at doc and had only lost 6 pounds. Need to lose10 for surgery. My bmi is 35 so they said I would be okay. My friend had to remind me that I ate like a pig for a week and a half before I started the fast. So I have actually lost 11 pounds. Anyone else have this happen?

My sx was Monday. I had bad nerves, but glad to be on the other side. I'm just really sore, but sipping fluids really well.

I got my sleeve on 14th. All went well. 1 night stay in hospital. Two things have concerned me and I was wondering if anyone else had these side effects...1. When I drink anything it causes me to have a gurgling sound come up. It is really loud and last night I was talking on the phone and my friend could hear my gurgle on the other end. It sounds like I have bubbles. I also have a huge bruise at one of the sights. It's the size of an avacado.

Day 9 post op for me. I am having trouble getting enough food and Protein in. Working hard at it but nothing tastes very good! The best thing I have had so far is I mix the injury Protein Soup with cream of chicken and it is really good. Going to try it with Tomato Soup in a few minutes and see if that is any better. How is everyone else doing that was sleeved on the 14th or around there?

      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!
