Recommended Posts

I'm feeling nervous and excited and ready to be on the loser's bench! You all are still saving my seat, right?!?! The liquid diet has been tough but I'm proud that I have done it and lost 11.5 lbs as of this morning :) Will be checking in as soon as I can manage it to let you all know how everything went!

Thanks Lissa!!! I am excited myself! Can't believe it is really here and my life will be changed tomorrow. I know there will be some rough times but I will keep my eye on the prize - and that prize is me! I have to be at the hospital at 730 and Mr. J has to be there at 6 so I guess our surgeries will probably be maybe 8 and 10 or something like that. I don't know how long the prep/wait is but that is my guess. Will keep you updated!

Good luck to you, and sending prayer your way. My date is the 28th. I started my liquid diet today and am a bit nervous about my success with it as the first Protein Shake of the day tasted fine, but did make me nauseous. We shall see. Can't wait to find out how you're doing. Congrats on the 11+ pounds!!!:-)

Thanks SusieQs! Sorry to hear your shake made you nauseous! I have done just ok with shakes. They don't make me nauseous but I also don't really like them at all and right now I can't imagine being able to take in a whole shake or more post op when I know how tiny the sips have to be and how long it will take. I tend to drink mine down quickly while they are really cold but I won't be able to do that after today so we'll see how it goes! Good luck with your liquid diet. It was tougher than I expected but did go quite fast. Will update you all as I can!

      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!
