All my Protein Shakes are made with Water. I'm not fond of chocolate but I got the vanilla' date=' Cappuccino, strawberry, wildberry and a few others. I think after the surgery I will be more creative and use the Unjury for a base and use the dry Peanut Butter high in Protein that they have. I got a lot of great ideas on Pinterest. You should check it out.

Have been thinking of everyone having surgery! Hoping all goes well :)

I just had an appointment with the cardiologist and he wants a stress test which is fine but its a 2 day test b/c of my weight and i'm am scheduled for surgery on Monday... AHHH... they could only fit me in on Friday after noon, and by doing the days backwards i'm doing part of it now. I hope the dr doesn't want to postpone my surgery!

Hello everyone. Just wanted to give a quick update....I am doing awesome. Probably drank Water too fast thing morning so I'm sitting in a chair and it feels better. My nurse today had the surgery back in October so it's nice she knows what I need. I'm a bit sore and only took my pain meds once this morning....they gave me that clotting shot and that stung so I took it :D I do wish everyone who is having surgery today a good and speedy recovery. I can't believe I am here but it feels great.

So happy for you!! I'm so glad your doing well. I can't wait until next Tuesday. But of course I'm probably going to need some words of encouragement the morning

/night of surgery. I think the nerves are setting in . :o

20 lbs is great!! :-) good for you. We all can't wait to join you. Are you hungry at all? Is it hard to get the Protein in? How does your stomach feel? Sorry all the questions. I'm too inquisitive sometimes. Lol

It's like the surgery day wasn't coming soon enough, but on the other hand now - its the countdown! Can't wait to wear a great pair of boots with skinny jeans and have my shirt tucked in with a belt. So many things I want to do!! I just hope I don't lose too much boobs! Sorry, just saying! TMI right?

      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!
