I didn't take my vitamins for about 30 days. I tried, but got sick each time. I had to go to a group appointment of one-month out people. No one was taking their vitamins bc of pain or nausea. It's slightly better since I can take the capsule now.
At the second day, I didn't think anything was easy! Maybe ice chips. I just concentrated on trying to get one ounce down at a time.
Good luck! And I hope you don't float away!!

I was sleeved Wednesday and today was my first day with few issues about my pills or liquids. I take 4 huge gabapentin pills and 1 tums size med. I split them all in half and spend about 90 min swallowing them

Sent before I was done...I started by B12 today. I'm also able to drink about 1000 calories and 150 g of Protein. Still have what feels like contractions of gas but gotta wait till number two!

I also take the rest of my pills no problem. liquid oxycodone made me vomit.

I actually feel like I could have had more protein for now they want me to get 60g of protein but shakes are tough sometimes

It gets easier. The first week is super hard. Your body is adjusting (and pissed) and it seems like everyone struggles with different stuff (shakes, Water, liquids...). Don't beat yourself up, take it easy. Do the best you can while you heal up. Before you know it - the shakes will go down smooth and you will be introducing new stuff. Try to focus on keeping hydrated and getting rest. The other stuff with come... GOOD LUCK and CONGRATS!

My sneaky way of getting all the Protein I get is I add a scoop of non-flavored 15 g protein to any broth or yogurt I eat. I know I'm eating about double the protein most people eat but I was on about 200 g before

      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!
