My surgery is 2 hours away. I would have driven myself there but then didn't know what LOL. I probably would have driven myself home LOL but clearly that's not safe. But once I get home, I am on my own with everything and my pain & health, thus why I am getting a ton done this week. You are not alone my friend!!!

I hope you have older ones in the bunch who can help. Years ago I had a fantasy of having 5 kids.

Feeling much better on day 2 and 3. Day 1 was tough. My morphine pump messed up throughout the night and stopped working so I was med-free for awhile and in a lot of pain. Once that was under control, I was doing better. Coughing hurts, but using a pillow and having one leg off the bed helps. Hope y'all are well.

Yes it is! Day 1 was hell all I wanted to do was sleep so I couldn't feel pain and that coughing was horrible. You feel like you need to throw up but all you are doing is dry heaving lol. The 2nd day wasn't too bad and today being my 3rd dayI I feel 89% better my stomach isnt too sore but still painful getting up and out of bed for walking or going to the bathroom. So happy you are going through everything at the same time! :)

I have not weighed myself. I'm still retaining so much Water so why look yet. Plus the scale is under the bed and i can not bend over drs orders, husband is at work and kids are at school so no way of reaching it. No pain just some soreness. :)

Yea same here feeling very bloated and can hardly bend. I feel you...I might wait a while till I weigh myself so I don't get discouraged or too excited cause I lost 5lbs and then weigh myself again and notice I have not lost anything.

      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!
