Folks don't let us discourage you - really one-two days of uncomfortableness? A few hours of misery for some - no pain no loose? Lol it really was only bad for 4 hours. It is worth it - heck even read some male parts when 30% weight loss looks 15% bigger according to ladies (so not man measurements)

Day 5 post op:

Still a little gas pain. Getting in about 3/4 of my fluids. This gets better everyday.

My surgeon leaves a drain in. Mine comes out Monday. (Yay) This is a safety precaution for leaks. As far as incision pain, I have very little. I would be up and going way more if it weren't for the drain. I've had some coughing which is horrible. But surviving well!

No regrets so far! As @@paramedic said: No pain no lose! Y'all got this!

Today has been rough. I still haven't cheated but I'm hungry and grumpy. Had to go to a family party - tons of yummy food (antipasto, heirloom tomatoes, egg salad, chicken salad, cole slaw) and I sipped my shake and had some broth. Day 6 done! 8 more days to go - we've got this!

I was sleeved Oct 6th. I'm on Clear Liquids I think until Thursday or Friday. But I really feel like i could tolerate yogurt, Apple sauce, and some other full liquid stuff. But I'm sticking to the plan. I keep having stomach spasms. I assume this is normal. How is everyone else doing?? I haven't weighed myself...

      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!
