I am 6 week out , been on normal food since 4+ weeks. ( surgeon approved me)

I just wondered any tips for havin a sleeve on holiday?

What sorts of meals do you have in the hotel as we will be eating at the restaurant here.

Its weird going away first time not weighing food, what can I eat that il be sure ther is no possibility to eat to much lol im nervous! I dont want to feel left out when everyone is eating fun things lol y surgeons plan for me is not low carb its just a baanced diet, but i knw Protein keeps you full.

I'm two weeks behind you but thought a lot about this too. I went to a party last weekend and no one noticed or said anything about me not eating and just drinking my shakes. That was a relief! I was prepared to say "I'm having some food intolerance issues so I'm doing an elimination diet with the help of my doctor."

In terms of restaurant eating, cup of soup/chili, side of cottage cheese? Can you eat those? Eat slowly and chew. Listen to your body and don't drink any liquids. And if anyone says anything you can tell them the truth or always claim you're just recovered from a stomach bug. No one can argue with that! Best of luck! We can do this!! [emoji173]️

      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!
