I went to truenutrition.com and bought cold-filtered grass fed whey Protein Powder. Its the best for you and has 27 g of Protein in one scoop. You can put it in anything like Soup, milk, yogurt, etc. Comes in unflavored and any flavor you can think of.

Starting to get nervous. Less than three weeks to my surgery date sept 3. Yesterday coworkers noticed i am not on the schedule' date=' asking why. Well i figured they might as well know, since i will come back to work with hydration and possible dumping issues.

I have Protein powders and Vitamins for postop, gonna load up on bottled Water and catfood before surgery.

I have tried out ultram (tramadol) for joint pain, and discovered it really makes me itch. So its back to just tylenol and ice for me. Oh well. Tomorrow is my preop appointments with Dr and RN . Its really gonna happen.

Can i get the house clean before? So much to do ...

Hey shershrinking,

I haven't told anyone at work about the surgery, except my boss and my closest coworker. I have mixed emotions on telling them. One part of me wants too, just to get it off my chest. But the other part, is saying no, you don't need to tell them. It is none of there business and I don't need the critisim and possible negative feedbacks.

This is causing me to be stressed the closer it gets to surgery because I'm extremely organized and I'm nervous about my work that will be handled when I'm gone. If they knew, I can work with them to get more of the workload done while I'm gone, but if I ask for it now, they will wonder what is up. Ugh!

I'm not a superstitious guy normally, but they have my surgery scheduled for Sept 11 (9/11) which also means I will be in the hospital for Friday the13th.... both dates don't have the best history. :unsure:

Mine requires two nights two. I will be going in Tuesday morning and leaving Thursday morning. I would be worried about the dates. Just stay positive, be prepared and everything will work out!

I told a couple of ppl and i received more negative then positive so I have just been concentrating on what I need to do and not really talk about it anymore.

Guys, I am really sorry. Some ppl just plain suck. We have to just write them off and focus on ourselves and the loved ones that actually matter.

      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!
