Pre-Op Accountability Challenge



Recommended Posts

Let's post daily to be accountable and keep each other motivated.

My pre-op goals are 35 grams of Fiber, 60 grams of Protein, 64 oz Water and 30 minutes of exercise. YAY!! I met my goals all my goals for today. With the assistance of Protein shakes and fiber supplements. I dusted off my P90 dvd and popped it in. I'm so excited and tired!! Haven't exercised in awhile but I made the big step of getting started again! First small steps to big changes for the rest of my life! I'm counting this as my official day 1 of pre-op diet. 15 days left!!

Hello!

Sounds like you are back on track for your March surgery. I saw an earlier post that you were going to have to wait until December due to insurance issues.

I had my surgery in Tifton on 2/12 and am doing great! I have an appt. with Dr. Smith tomorrow and should get my first fill. Did you know they are starting a support group tonight?

Will you be attending the group? I was so glad to find out that if I had previous insurance coverage before this policy my pre-existing condition exclusion would be waived. That's how I was able to get back on track! Glad to hear all is well with you! I asked Dr. Smith if I would have anything in my band initially he said no. Hope you get a good fill tomorrow!!. Were you hungry much?

I did attend the support group. There were five of us there--everyone there had already had surgery. It will the second Tuesday of each month. Maybe you can attend next month. I get hungry sometimes but not too bad.

      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!
