Recommended Posts

Can't believe it is finally here! It's all happening so fast! I lost 10 pounds on my pre-op diet so I feel like I'm on my way! The hospital I'm having surgery at is an hour from my home and we are having a bit of a winter storm with 1-3 inches of ice expected. Staying in a hotel next to hospital so we don't have to travel I'm it! I'm so excited!!! Please pray my surgeon can make it in!

Things went well! Pretty sore today but not as much as yesterday. I bought some of the Unjury chicken Soup and it is awesome! Tastes great and one serving has as much Protein as 3 eggs! It's definitely going to be a favorite!! My biggest issue is trying to sleep. Only got maybe 3 hours. Any ideas on that?

I was banded two days ago and the first night could only sleep 1-2 hours at a time. Kept having to change position because of discomfort. The second night was a little better at 2/3 hr stints. Hopefully it just gets better over time. I am not in extreme discomfort but am taking my pain meds every 6 hours or so because it takes the edge off and allows me to sleep.

I bought in online at www.unjury.com. It's where I get my Vitamins too recommend by my doctor. I take the opurity vitamins for people with lapband. Taste good too! I am only sleeping a few hours at a time too but feeling much more rested today!

      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!
