February 1st is my surgery day!



Recommended Posts

So i start my all liquid preop tomorrow and should really be enjoying today- but sadly, the past four days i have had the FLU and been a nasty sick mess. nothing has stayed in me. today is my first day NOT being sick. so, my toast for Breakfast and crackers for lunch- looks like my ''exciting' last meal with my family will not be so exciting afterall.

sigh.

i wish it didnt go downt this way- but at least i have lost a ton of weight in four days having the flu!! LOL... gotta look on the bright side ...right?

I am ready for this. but its scary when its right around the corner.

right?

Welcome!

So sorry to hear you've had the flu. Better now than after your surgery though! Don't be scared. A new life is an exciting positive thing to be starting. Nothing to fear. The surgery itself is a piece of cake, very easy as surgeries go. That case of the flu will have beat you up more.

Good luck on 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!
