Update, I went to see my surgeon and he wants me in on Monday overnight to pop a camera down into my stomach to see what's happening as he suspects the stoma has decreased in size (a stenosis). When this happens, smaller and smaller amounts of regular food can pass through the stomach :-( causing me all these problems. Hope they don't have to open me up again:-(((

Well, I'm felling much better than I was, still incredibly tired, and agitated but my eating is back to normal but still have no hunger at all and If left to my brain to rule my body rather than my common sense, I wouldn't eat At all, I don't enjoy food at All now. I have always been jealous of people that eat to live rather than live to eat... I got what I wished for, I just need to learn to live with it now. This journey has been tough and I'm sure it will continue to be so, but even with all the things that have happened, I'm still glad I've done it! X

      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'. ???

        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!
