I was soooooooo hungry when I got home I had a couple of handfuls of almonds. Now I feel guilty.. And work wasn't bad but my stomach wouldn't shut up..... I guess I need to add another shake. Is this diet designed for people that don't move around alot??? I am constantly on the move I feel like a zombie....... I am going to start wondering around the healthcare asking for brains.....

How are you doing, nursemedic? Wknds are hard! I woke up so hungry but I've managed. How many more days do you have? Two more for me.

Today wasn't bad... I have a really supportive husband even though he is 6'4 and 200 pounds he says he will get fit with me (as I roll my eyes) he is doing shakes and has been eating all the "good food" at work and not around me. Tomorrow I work my part time job which is on an ambulance for 24 hours.... This will be a challenge I will keep 3-4 shakes in the rig that way I'm not tempted.

I start my pre-op diet on Wednesday, so I am getting nervous! I get 3 shakes a day (250 calories each) and am allowed 250 calories of low carb veggies (so no potatoes, carrots, etc) each day, for a total of 1000 calories. I am hoping I can stay mentally alert. I sit at my desk all day, but I need my brain to function! I also worry about headaches the first few days, since I am not allowed to take any pain killers during the two weeks prior to 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'. ???

        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!
