I all. I have a silly question. I'm in the clearance phase and I probably will have surgery in April. I have a cruise booked for thanksgiving week in November. I will be 7 months post op by then. do you think I will be ok to go? Meaning will I be on reg food by then? Do you think I will be ok to do vigorous activities? Thanks for any input.

I'm flying to Greece when I'm 4 1/2 months post op. I'll be climbing mountains and walking a lot but I'm confident I'll be fine. A cruise should offer unlimited food selections that are diet friendly so you should be good to go. If you are exercising all along you should be strong enough to do anything you wish to do. Good luck.

As long a there are no complications (just being real) you will be perfectly fine! I am going to Florida (Disney world/universal) in July, I will be 7 months out by then, and I am ALREADY ready to go!!! Have a great time on your cruise!

Of course u will be ok to do stenuous exercise at that point. I started doing stenuous exercise at 8 weeks.

I am 3.5 months out - I can do anything I did prior to surgery. I just returned from a trip to San Francisco where my husband and I walked all over the city, including the really steep hills. We had a great time.

For food - I have no restrictions. I am free to eat anything I want. I follow my docs rule of Protein first and if I have room, a couple of bites of vegetable and if there is room, maybe some bread. I don't get the to bread. :-)

At 7 months, you should be living a normal life, assuming you had no complications. Enjoy!!!!!!

Hi you were in my neck of the woods. Did you get stuck in the rain storms we had?

      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!
