Just got back from 2 weeks of camping and I have MISSED THIS BOARD and all of you!

I have only skimmed over the 7 pages of "new posts" but I wanted to say Hello! Darcy ... you are BANDED! I can't believe it! Woooo Hooooo!

Michelle, I hope you are doing well, I didn't see anything from you!

Donali, I am so sorry for all you have gone though! You are such a great support and such a good person! Thanks for all you have shared and I wish you all the best!

I started my pre-op "diet" on Monday, 7-5. Less than 30 carbs a day. There is still a lot to eat and I feel like I am cheating! I see the nutritionist tomorrow, and she will probably confirm that yes, I'm doin' it wrong!! :D

July 19th is rapidly approaching! Not nervous yet, I guess I am still in disbelief! I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready!!

Debra, yikes, 2 weeks of camping?? I sure hope it wasn't the roughing-it kind where you have to pee in the woods. I can do that for, well, one night (maybe) but that's about it. :D

What a great time to take a vacation--you get back and the whole summer is still ahead of you. And what a summer this will be! :D :D :D

Thank you Ladies!

I saw my nutritionist today and she sid I am right on track. Just staying Low-carb 'til the 19th! She also gave me the Phase 1 outline for the 1st week to 10 days. I've been reading about that for three or four months here on this board ... but it didn't really sink in until the instructions had my name on them!

No, my rough camping vacation was in our 26 1/2 foot travel trailer, complete w/ central air and a bathroom inc. shower. I have a queen size bed in my master bedroom! Not really roughing it, but it's a nice get-away! The kids love it and we take the dogs w/ us, so it's a lot of fun. We are going again early August.

Glad to be back!!!

      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!
