I have 3 children and we go on vacation every summer. I didn't know it would only be a 2 week process for me.

When do you have to go back to the doctor?

I'm on day 1 of 2 total liquid pre-op and wow I've had a headache ALL day.

I couldn't get clearance from my cardio today. I couldn't last 8 minutes on the treadmill. I told her I had just recently injured my knee and still see a doctor for that, oh well.

Luckily they got me in tomorrow to do a diff cardio test for clearance. All this and my surgery is Thursday!!

well tomorrow morning i will wake up unusually early (assuming I can fall asleep) and walk over to the hospital (it's just a few blocks from my house) to check in at 6:30am. excited/nervous for sure, but those words hardly capture what i'm feeling.

i was hoping I'd have lost 20lbs before surgery - it seemed for a while like that was in reach but the scale hasn't moved in 3 days, so it looks like I'll be 17lbs down pre-surgery (12 of that on the 2 week pre op diet). the last couple of nights i've been having terrible headaches - not sure what that's about or if it's related. i know i'm not dehydrated, that's for sure.

whatever lies ahead - if i'm not back on later in the day, i'll catch y'all on the flipside! good luck to my fellow 7/11 banders!

It's the countdown my friend! 17lbs is amazing! I lost 13lbs during the preop. The headaches are most likely from your body reacting from not getting any carbs or sugar . Side effects of not having those things is usually a headache . You r going to do great... Don't worry..it will go so fast. When I got to the hospital there was no turning back... And I looked up and I was in recovery .

      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!
