Greetings From Hurricane Sandy-Land



Recommended Posts

I'm 16 days post op and SO apply to be back in my home AND have heat! Our grocery store was barren. Shelves completely empty. They have produce and canned stuff but no meats, no frozen things, no dairy. This is all a bummer for a girl on mushies. Thank goodness for healthy babyfoods! the veggie options are great and the portions are perfect for bandsters but i can totally understand why my babies spit out any of the meat options! one day I was looking forward to yogurt, cottage cheese etc. so I made a trip uptown where life is normal in NYC and filled in on supplies. Mmmmnnn tuna, laughhingcow low fat cheese, yogurt smoothies, mashed potato mix with Unjury cheese powder Protein. Down 17 lbs from start of pre op diet. Haven't started exercising yet. In fact I still haven't had my post op visit because NYU apparently is in a bad way and not re opening for weeks!!

      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!
