I Need Drugs.... Soon :)



Recommended Posts

2 more days! I cannot believe its almost here. People at work are noticing today the liquid diet thing. Because I supervise staff I had to put out an email of when ill be out and people are not afraid to ask why. I tell them medical and then they worry. I then tell them it's fine and then they are curious. I don't want to tell them..... Yet. I need to get through this first.

Hysteria- Good song by Def Lepard. ;)

I am doing the same thing, Justine. No one has asked, though. Since I work for a local government, they know that they can't ask due to the privacy laws. No one has noticed the liquid diet as of yet. I'm day four.

Hang in there and stay tough. :)

i'd just tell them that i had a really bad stomach virus & the only things i could keep down are simple stuff with basic nutrients & that my doctor just wants me to stay hydrated..

if they kept pushing me for answers.. lol seems pretty thorough. ;)

then when you go back & you don't eat much or are still on liquids or mushy food, you could just be like "yeah... still having a tough time keeping stuff down. it's crazy!" lol

alternately, you could just tell 'em you're doing a 'fast' and you're detoxing & needed time off to do it with proper medical supervision.. or whatever...

Yep- I work for local government as well- that doesn't stop them (employees). The bossss can't ask.

I'm hungry!!! I dont want to work these two days. My mind isn't in it. How's that for whining?

not whiney, just being honest. it's hard when you're going through all this stuff. liquid diet affects your mood & energy level + stress of having surgery & preparing for it + work + other stuff going on in your life.. lol it's stressful & at least you're not throwing in the towel, you're still hanging in there, even though you don't want to! :)

Thank you! Stressful day at work oddly enough too. I'm going to admit myself!

      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!
