All done!! Just waking up from surgery and am on my room. Mouth is dry but that's expected. Nurse gave me glycerin swabs to wipe the inside of my mouth. I am so happy and look forward to the rest of my recovery.

Was a bit nauseous in recovery room and remember saying I was scared ...but was already done.

Today is day one of my preop diet and I've had one shake and I'm hungry... I knew day three and four were days I would struggle but the morning of day one is not giving me much hope for success.

Emily! I was the same way I think it was the reality of "this is it". And everywhere I went, I'd see McDonald's, etc. and think to myself "never again". I was starving! (Or so I thought)

But I'm happy to say that I made it and I'm currently in my hospital bed having been sleeved Monday night. You will make it as well. Keep the faith.

Don't give uo, it is super hard but the results are many. I felt the same way b4 my 14day pre-op diet and I lost 18# before surgery. I was sleeved 10/11/12. U can do it!

Ok so I told myself that if I could make it 3 weeks on the preop diet without cheating then I would have my favorite Breakfast today, favorite lunch tomorrow and favorite dinner Friday. Then liquid diet Saturday and Sunday. Today I got 1 kolache from the kolache factory. It took me 30 minutes to eat it. And now I feel like I have a rock in my stomach!

      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!
