two months out and all's well



Recommended Posts

I am almost 2 months out and so far so good.

I've lost 27lbs. and am exercising A LOT...swimming, and treadmill.

I am eating A LOT non-animal Protein. Most every meal is just a Protein and veggie..very few carbs.

My hair is falling out A LOT...handfuls of hair everytime I brush. I am using a treatment Shampoo and conditioner...do not think it is working that great.

I still have gas, especially at night.

I had 1 incident of food getting stuck that hurt so bad. My mouth was full of spit...weird and painful. but it only lasted a couple minutes.

Does anyone have advice for the Hair loss? This is what is worrying me the most!

Thanks for the support.

Ok are you getting 60 grams of Protein a day? I was told to eat animal Protein, specifically lean chicken, fish or turkey and some beef if I could tolerate it. I do Have blood tests by the doctor to see if you are having deficiencies in your Vitamins and minerals and protein.

So far banded in August no hair falling out and feel good.

Thank you. I am going to try Biotin and folic acid, and monitor protien. I also heard that the hair loss can be from dropping a lot of weight at once, as the gall bladder works double time fat burning...but that hair will all grow back and this is common for about 3 to 9 months out to occur.

Here's hoping!

Thanks again!

      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.

      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!
