@cokegirl did you weigh yourself when you got out of the hospital? I had gained 9 lbs from IV fluids and swelling... I eventually lost that and I'm also down 19 lbs from my surgery date (12/9/16). Have you had a follow up with your Surgeon and Dietician?

I go for my 2 week checkup on Jan. 4th....I feel like I'm still a little swollen so, I'm hoping I'm just holding on to the Fluid I'm drinking for Protein.< /p>

I lost almost 10 before surgery on the pre op diet they had me on.

I lost 19lbs on my pre-op diet and another 20lbs since surgery on the 19th and have been ecstatic. This morning I gained 2lbs so I think it's time to start weighing myself a lot less. I think I'm becoming obsessed. Everyone on these forums is so supportive (with a few exceptions) and I am very grateful for all the advice. Thank you all.

Need help! I want to take a gasx chewable, but I am afraid of a reaction. Anyone have any advice?

I'm on day 8 post op.

I have used the GasX strips that melt on your tongue. Maybe give those a try.

I had my sleeve done on December 28th. I would love to be a part of the group. I'm still trying to figure out this app. Can I get an invite?

      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!
