Nina,

I just was sleeved on Thurs (thanks for the support on the Firecrackers site), I know this part can be a challenge but you are almost there! Something everyone kept saying was..."are you excited!"...well no,,,that was not my primary thought...I told my husband on the way to the hospital that my thoughts are DETERMINATION and RESOLVE!!!!! That is what this takes.....set yourself like stone to power through and you will be succesful! Come on over to the loser bench with me! Tracy W.

I started my three day liquid diet and I was fine until this afternoon when I got a splittling headache :( I can't even have proteing shakes. I feel so weak and dizzy. Two more days of this not sure if I can do this. I know I have too, but this would be so much better without the headache. Feel so weak blah Any suggestions or just plain support would be so helpful thank in advance ;)

Not to mention its that time of the month uhh!

Try Powerade Zero. No calories but all the other stuff is there.

I am with you too, but my doctor has me on this preop diet for A WHOLE MONTH!. Ugh. The office sells food replacements so basically I am on a 600 cal/day diet for a month that consists only of specific :

Bouillon

Protein Bars/Shakes

bouillon

pudding

Water

I go from thinking... I can do this.... this isn't too bad.... to.... I CANT DO IT ANYMORE!!!!.... and I am only on the first week.

I agree with the above posters, though... I would bet that your headache is caffeine withdrawal. I had a wicked headache for a few days and nausea when I gave up caffeine. Fortunately, though I went through that a couple months back so I am not dealing with that at the same time.

Good luck... I will be thinking of you.

thank you and I hope you do well too :)

      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!
