Is Gummy bears, worms etc okay? Was told they aren't good for sleeves

Hmm ive never heard of that but my doctor says no gum because my new tummy can't break it down if i accidentally swallow it..maybe along the same lines? I know other ppls' surgeons let them chew gum tho so idk[emoji2372] im finding a lot of this stuff to be a guessing game, as so many professionals have differing opinions and so many patients have different experiences...google it maybe? Lol

no - I was writing about gummy vitamins when I realized she meant Gummy bears. So then I tried to delete my post, but it wouldn't let me delete it. It said I had to put something there. UGH.

it can be done! It does take a lot of commitment - esp near the end when the weight loss slows to a crawl. Good luck with your journey!

      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!
