My name is Alycia and I have surgery tomorrow 3/16/10. I can't wait I had to start the Clear Liquids thursday so this is day 5 and I am SOOOOOO hungry my head is pounding but I keep telling myself it's so worth it. I'm excited and nervous all at once and can't wait for the journey ahead and a new start in my life. I'm currently at 282 minus the 9 pounds I've lost in the last 5 days.:thumbup:

Hello,

I had my surgery last Monday (3/8). Things are going quite well. I am still in my liquid phase but its okay. I am not nearly as hungry as I thought I would be. Good luck on your surgery!

      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'. ???

      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!
