My Pre Op diet starts on Saturday and I am really not looking forward to it since seeing everyone's misery. Good Luck to those having surgery today!

It sucks but it's doable. My worst day was like day 8 or 9. I'd accidentally got some sugar in my system from not checking carbs and it triggered me. I wanted everything I could imagine and it was hard not to cheat, but I didn't.

Thanks I'm really nervous about this part. The headaches are not going to be fun. when I dont eat I get a headache and my hands start shaking.

You can add a scoop of unflavored Protein to some crystal lite and guzzle that and it will help. It's not the best drink on the planet but it's not horrible either.

Hey!!! Doing good so far, thanks! At least doing well on the preop stuff. Having problems with the hubs. We have not been getting along lately. It doesn't have anything to do with my surgery. He's been pretty supportive so far - except when we were fighting Sunday and he told me that I chose this and I did this to myself, which is true. It just pissed me off.

They get scared and project it wrong. Guys aren't adept at showing how they feel and project it on to other things. I'm sorry you're having to deal with it right now. Sure you're doing this for you, but you're doing it for him too. To spend a longer, happier, healthier life with him. (((Hugs)))

Thanks for the support! :) I really appreciate it

Oh man. Hope you get there soon and safely. I am all IV'd up and waiting to talk to the surgeon and anesthesiologist before I go!

How are u? I'm recovering well so far but I'm starving! To my surprise they also repaired a hernia and gave me heart bandages! I've been walking around and did 5 laps already! Feeling good and I hope you're doing well too!

Yay!!! Glad to hear you're doing well! Odd that you're starving. I rarely hear that, but sometimes do. It could be stomach acid or real hunger. Do you get to eat ice chips or anything

Nothing since midnight last night! Ice cubes yes but not to eat just to wet my lips. It could be head hunger because I don't physically feel hungry. I do feel very thirsty.

Hi.- 1st day home and improving each hour. Have not felt hungary until my family made spaghetti andeatballs for dinner. Although I didn't physically feel hungary, I missed being able to taste it. I guess head hunger is real. My biggest complaint has been the extra air and gas in my chest and shoulder. Keeps me kind of restless.

      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!
