Johnnycakes, I don't eat those but have attempted to eat them once maybe twice just to get any food down due to the achalasia. We have days we can't get Water down. I was merely using those as examples that me and someone else on this site suffer with on top of the bariatric surgery. low cal yogurt, Water, Protein Shakes, watermelon, are terribly difficult. I was using it as consistency examples. but thanks for the sarcasm.

oh, you must have misunderstood me. there was no sarcasm intended.

Jonnycakes!!!! what the heck is wrong with me? I know it sounds strange that I've dwelled on this, and yes, I should focus on having more a of a life, rather than dwelling on a random comment from a stranger!!! I read another post on this site where a guy got completely reamed for his very honest and sincere post that an entire group of people took out of context. When did we all get so sensitive? Ridiculous!

So I'd like to apologize for my slight snarky response. I hope you are a great day.

Update: Those dam stalls are terrible. Knowing they can hang on for a month or better sucks. But they don't last forever. I've been losing, just slower than I hoped for. I walk 2 to 3 miles daily and it does bother me that the weight is coming off slowly, but looking back it's clear that it's at least going in the right direction.

I finally fell into the one-derland mark at 197 last week. I haven't been under 200 pounds in over 20 years.

So for anyone that is stalling, be patient. The surgery will work and give you the result you hope for. Just don't give up. Don't compare yourself to others out here either. Hang in 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.

        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!
