It's so surreal. I checked in this morning at 9:15 and had surgery at 11:15. Came out of surgery in a lot of pain and nauseated. Once I got hooked up to the pain pump and got a dose of zofran I felt really good except I have been so very tired from the anesthesia. I am up and walking with almost no pain. My doctor allows ice chips thankfully because my mouth is really dry. Tomorrow morning I have another leak test (he does one in the OR) and then on clear liquids. Hopefully all goes well because I really want to go home! Once home I'm allowed to start on full liquids.

I hope everyone else's surgery's went well today! This is my first time on because I've been so tired and my eyes would not cooperate. Good luck to all those waiting!!

Yay, congrats. I came across an old post of yours earlier today about the pre-op diet and saw your surgery was today and wondered how it went. (It's easy to remember you with that Houston logo. I'm a Colts fan so I'm used to seeing us beat you.) Glad you checked in and are doing well.

My surgery is the 24th too. I think you are the first person I've seen that has the same day as me.

Thanks everybody!! I had my leak test this morning and everything looks good. They now have started me on Clear Liquids. So far all is good. They took out my catheter but I'm still getting fluids thru iv cause I'm a little dehydrated. Hopefully I can pee later cause I really want to go home to my babies!!! Will update later! Take care all!!

Just had my sleeve done Monday to feeling great just confused on how to eat any recommendations new at all this just joined

It is confusing right now. I try to make sure I get my Water and Protein Shakes and whatever else I feel like I can get down (I'm on full liquids so cream of whatever with skim milk, greek yogurt with skim milk, cream of wheat with skim milk, sf Jello, pudding, Popsicle). It's really hard tho because while I'm hungry (or feel hungry) I don't want to eat. Can't wait to get past all the initial food stages. GL!

      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!
