April surgery, what to do now?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I met with my surgeon Dec. 11th, if all goes well, surgery in April. I really need some help now before the classes start in January and support while in the classes. Is there a group waiting for surgery that are trying to get a head start on eating the right foods and the right way. From what I am seeing, I need to get off caffeine. I was going to start there, Right now with the holidays, sugar is an issue. I am having some knee issues, will get gel injection today and then I would like to get back to my Water exercise. I would appreciate any help you could give me as to what type of things I need to do to get ready. I know I will learn more when I meet with the nutritionist on the 19th but that seems like forever. I really want this to work. Thanks again.

I have a 14 day low carb diet that really helps you get in the swing of healthy eating. It leaves you so many carbs each day so that you can allow yourself a small treat without feeling guilty. If you would like a copy of it then put up your e mail address and I will send it to you. I must say I really enjoyed the food that's in it and found there is plenty in the way of portion size. Xxxx

      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!
