Secret sleever too. I am on the fb page for my doctor, but can't bring myself to post just in the chance that the group is advertised to my Facebook friends with me as a member. Does anyone know how that works? I'm very interested in having as much support as possible, but I really don't want others knowing my business, so I just end up lurking the pages.

So, if it's a closed Facebook group it won't advertise, but if some searches the page it will show up that you're in the group.

My understanding is that if you post in a closed group, your activity may show up in your friends' feed. The only way to avoid facebook friends all being informed of your membership/activity in a group is for the group to be set for secret.

Haha! Couldn't have said it better. The first few days were a breeze. Now I feel like I should be a skeleton but I still have 100+ pounds to lose!

Any tips? I'm open to literally anything other than Protein Shakes and broth.< br>

Does your pre-op program allow sugar free Jello? I've been mixing flavorless Protein Powder into that for a nutritious snack. It totally curbs the cravings.

      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!
