Oh God bless you flrosie, brazilangirl, and Ginger!! I pray you ladies get to feeling better real soon. Today I'm back at work and have had my moments of nausea but it passed and I am here at my lunch sipping on broth. My incisions are itchy now. I've had to wear a slip with my clothes to keep them from snagging on the sites.

I chose not to tell my boss and coworkers what I did and today they knew I was out Two days last week. My boss even called me in to see if I was doing ok. Part of me wants to shout it out and the other just wants to quietly do my thing. Still not sure what I'll say when the weight loss is noticeable and someone asks me how. Maybe I will maybe I won't, I'll wait til that happens ;-)

Rest up and get better soon y'all!!

3/20 for me. At this stage my incisions are itchy, too and I like the idea of wearing a slip or camisole under my shirt; thanks! Otherwise, my energy is good and chest is no longer tight due to doing my breathing exercises.

It was helpful for me to remember frpm previous recoveries (childbirth, etc) that the upward climb isn't gradual (at least for me). You really go from feeling UGH to "more normal" quite rapidly. On Saturday I felt so low I couldn't take a walk outdoors, but on Sunday I got up, went out and picked up the Sunday paper and strolled around the neighborhood.

      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!
