Well, I've really been taking advantage of this wonderful support system. I've asked so many questions and gotten so much help and relieving answers. Thank you.

So now, my next one. I was sleeved last Thursday. In June, literally 2 months from now, is my wedding. What are you all eating 2 months post op? Liquor? Are you able to eat more than 3 bites of something?

Thanks in advance. Appreciate you all

No liquor! Not a wise idea you may hurt your pouch. My doctor say no alcohol ever. Other doctors say 6 months. But as you probably know it would hit you like a ton of bricks. As far as eating i think thats about it.

I would be extreamly cautious of alcohol... its irritating to the stomach and you wont know how you are going to tolerate it especially so soon after surgery.

I know im a debbie downer lol
BUT congrats on your wedding!!!

Congrats on the wedding. I am a little over 4 weeks out and I can only eat 4 oz and I am full.. but I am still on soft foods. Although there is always good food at a wedding, focus on the good times and dancing and you won't miss the food and alcohol. Have fun

My doctor said no alcohol for at least 6 months so I would not personally drink. Maybe they can make you a virgin version of your favorite drink that way you still get the taste and give off the illusion of having a drink if you are not sharing that you had surgery.

As for food I was cleared for a regular diet at 8 weeks but was told to introduce foods slowly and also I was eating a very small amount still. About 3 ounces total. I'm now up to about 5 ounces total.

      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!
