Sorry to hear that your having a hard time. I will pray God speeds up your recovery! When were you sleeved? Since I wanted my surgery to be a private thing, I haven't told my church family or co-workers. We just need to pray for each other.

I got sleeved on the 23rd. Almost a week ago. I have my follow up on Thursday. I am trying to get all my fluids in, but it's been hard. I will also pray for you. :) Not too many know of my surgery either. I don't know why, I have never been embarrassed to be a big girl. *heehee*

I think I'm afraid someone will talk me out of it....How are you feeling? Are you in pain, hungry?

I'm suppose to go back to work after a week off, maybe I need to rethink that.

Praying God's healing touch over you now. There's power in the word, and it says " By his stripes we're healed".

I'm feeling ok. I'm sore but only in one incision. The doctor said it was the deepest incision. It hurts to get up and down. You never know how much you use your stomach mussels until they cut them. :) Thank you for your prayers. I prayed for you to have his strength and courage. You'll be fine and i know once this little part is over, we will both be happy we did it. :)

Did you say stomach muscles, what are those? LOL! On your pre-op diet, What was your favorite Protein Drink?

*hahaha*

I drank Premier Protein. I got them from Costo. I used the chocolate and blended a banana in it. That made it so much easier to get down.

I like the banana idea. Someone mentioned putting a spoon of Peanut Butter in it. Xtra Protein and makes it taste good.

      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.

        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!
