Does anyone ever go back and do the pre surgical diet , just to jump start things ? I have been playing with the same 5 pounds for about 6 months now . I’m 16 months out and have lost 90 pounds . I have about another 15-20 pounds that I would like to lose.

Yeah ... at least three times in the ELEVEN WEEKS since surgery, I have had a day or two where I just went back to pre-op basics and lived on a couple of Protein Shakes and minimal other food for a bit.

I have a couple of boxes of Optifast shakes left here in the pantry. I might as well use them up, I think.

I had my sleeve July 2016 and have been thinking about getting my notebook out and starting on the pre op diet again. I am up 4 pounds and can't shake it since Thanksgiving. I lost 56 pounds and that was it but I was able to get off my insulin and all my diabetic meds.

I lost 0.4kg (14 ounces) at my weekly Monday noon weigh-in on Xmas Day (18th-25th Dec)

My big surprise was that by swimming 2 to 3 hours per day on 1000-1400 calories from 26th Dec to 1st Jan, I weighed in 1.7kg (3 pounds 12 ounces) less on New Years Day.

I am already down a further 2kg today Saturday. (about 4 pounds 6 ounces)

This is my best concentration in years and follows a birthday dinner for my brother-in-law last night.

      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!
