I have a namesake for everything that is mine so I figured I just soon name my sleeve too....So Keyah Neranti (in good health victory is health) will be born soon!

I'm not sure if I am more excited than nervous. Maybe its a mix of emotions.

I have so much to do before then. My last day of work is today the 1st.

I've done all my preop requirements and such I start my clear liquid diet on Wednesday but I'm electing to start early on Tuesday apparently I have a hemorrhoids problem just discovered so I shall start the clears early in hopes to rush out all the gunk for my own sakes!

I bought gas-x, nonskid socks, tylenol, stocks, puddings, lotions, Soups, Protein mix, Vitamins, and gosh knows what else I will need. My suitcase is packed..according to the doctor I will only be there ONE DAY...WHOOOT that will be amazing! So I am bringing one set of clothes for home and an extra blankets and my pillow!

I've turned in all my paperwork to be off work, I'm paying all the bills by Wednesday, I'm washing down the entire house and santitizing from top to bottom. I'm having the car cleaned. I'm forwarding all my calls to voicemail.

I have reorganized my Keyah Neranti book - is a binder of all my paperwork, visits here and there, food requirements, and everything else surgery related. I am going to add a section to log my food for the first month until my doctors check in just in case something comes up figured I'd have it logged.

My cheering squad (my girlfriend and son) have been super supportive and are ready to be my personal on call nurses for the next four weeks. They have litterally threatened me if I try to do anything but walk! haha!

I have elected not to share any of my success with the remainder of my family as I mentioned it two years ago when I started this journey and they had negative opinions. Though I totally relate and understand their concerns at the end of the day this is for "ME" not them.

I feel like there is still something I'm missing?!

Wheww... there's alot going on talk about a merry go around of feelings - thoughts - emtions - activities!

I also colored my hair blue last week! haha I thought it would wash out a bit before surgery I will have to figure out what to do with it the day of so I don't turn everything at the hospital blue!

They are going to love your blue hair at the hospital! Good luck to you. You have such a positive attitude and I think that will translate to phenomenal success. =)

      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!
