I have sleep apnea, was diagnosed in March 2014. I had my surgery August 8, 2014 and in total I have lost 34 pounds since starting my pre-op diet ordered by my surgeon. I didn't think I would see results this quickly, but I sleep much better now than when I did before my surgery. Directly after my surgery, I couldn't sleep with the machine on because it made me nauseous and I didn't want to heave.

As far as Protein drinks go- Body Fortress chocolate Peanut Butter is really good, to me. The strawberry was gross. :P

I have anxiety about a lot of things, believe it or not. I'm not sure if it's common- but I know that being nervous is.

I had been a member of the 'nose hose patrol' for 10 long years preOp due to sleep Apnea.

Within 10 months postOp and loss of about 40# I was off CPAP as well as insulin.

As well as my anxiety being considerably lower and my episodes of Panic ceasing totally.

In fact, I learned much of my own overeating was directly related to my 'panic & anxiety' disorder.

Good luck on resolving your issues, you're on the way!!!!

I was never diagnosed with sleep apnea but if it walks like a duck it's a duck. I snored and woke myself up gasping for air. Hubby said he'd lay and watch waiting for me to take a breath. My family commented about my snoring all the time. Since losing wt hubby says I don't snore anymore. I sleep like a baby.

JACK THAT WAS TO FUNNY NOSE , HOSE PATROL, I knew I had sleep apnea because I would wake my own self up snoring, & I was diagnosed after one of my son's woke me up & said I was scaring him , after being banded , one day I was exhausted , and I felt like I had been snoring , so I asked some one sitting in the room & they told me that I didn't so I guess losing the weight helped , because I haven't used my cpap machine since 2 months after , now my Mother is using it .

      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.

        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!
