In fear that I may sound whiny..I'm totally drained from this liquid pre-op. I'm not able to focus at work and my stomach growls so loud that people sitting across the meeting room ask if I'm okay. I'm halfway there, but I notice my arthritis is really hurting me this week. Anyone else experience the same?

Being on the two-week preop diet gives you license to whine, you don't need to apologize for it around here.

How much Protein are you getting in each day and are you drinking your Water?

Can't speak for the arthritis but I'm hoping someone will chime in that can.

Oh honey, I'm so worried about my arthritis too! I take 400 to 800 mg's of motrin every single day but I will have to stop taking it 10 days prior to surgery & I just don't know how I'll survive the pain. I can barely walk or even use my fingers without the ibuprofen meds. I have arthritis in my feet, back & hands. No fun. I hope it goes by quickly for you!

I'm drinking lots of water! I have a 20oz and I drink three at work and another in the evening. It's weird because I don't really take meds for my pain usually, it just seems to be flaring up.

I'll be honest. I wish I had taken a few days off this week because I can't even stand how serious I've been and to call me a B word would be polite. :)

      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.

        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!
