So My Surgery Is In 5 Days



Recommended Posts

On it now. My surgery is Wed. This is my 8th day. I am so thirsty tonight for some reason. Can't get enough to drink. The only thing that keeps me going is this web site and another that I read all the time. The good stories make me think I can do this because of the light at the end. We will get through this and we will make it to surgery and we will get through the surgery. We will heal and by next year we will be able to eat but just not too much. Hang in there. Everyone says it will get better. Keep in touch.

I'm having surgery on Wed also! And i also feel like the only reason I've been able to do this diet is because of that light at the end! Good luck.

My surgery is Wednesday too. I really dislike the liquid diet also. I just keep thinking about the end results and it helps get me through. Also looking at some pics of myself is a fantastic motivator! We can do it!

      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!
