Recommended Posts

It will be worth all of the struggles in the end! I am a stay at home mom of four and when I make meals for them instead of getting stressed about not being able to eat with them I just remind myself I am doing this for them!

What scares me is: if it's this hard now, will it always be this hard? If this is how it will be after surgery ill fail!

I have been on a cpap since 2010. Honestly I can't sleep without it if you can relax it will be the best sleep you have ever HD. Also I am told by a friend that just had the surgery the hunger dimeishes after surgery.

Yea it sucks I have to cook my traditional rice and Beans for my bf and reg meat and Pasta ugh things I love and I can't have especially my bread ?de29 but in the end I know it will be worth it . We can all do this just one day at a time if we slip we can get back up no one is perfect

Yes! I have slipped twice. I'm angry with myself because I thought I could be strong but it was my birthday and I had some birthday pie instead of cake. Thanks for saying this. It helps a lot.

      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!
