Tonight I have my last meal before I begin my pre-op diet! I'm excited to start my diet because it signals the start of the surgical process! I have waited so long it feels like, yet other times it seems to have flown by.

I hope everyone from the last two days are doing well in recovery!

OMG Surgery has been bumped up from 10 to 730!!! Yay!! I feel bad though bc they said it was bc the person before me who was in the pre-op class with me got denied by her insurance. :-(

OMG that sounds so good! I'm not doing too well with the hunger on this low carb pre op diet. I just ate a pop tart while waiting for dinner to cook...probably blew my entire good day. But thankfully next week hunger won't be as big an issue for me.

Don't get to extreme hunger... use your shakes even if they don't sound satisfying at the time..it's only 2 weeks of your life .... YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

I definitely will. I asked the nurse last week and she said to wear a pad. I also threw some extras in my bag just so I don't have to wear their huge ones. Lol. I wanted to get it last week cause I knew this was going to happen. Ugh.

      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!
