Congrats and good luck...you are about to embark on an amazing adventure...one thing I wish I had done was taken a pic of me each week...so I suggest it to you... when you reach a stall or are having a bad time, reflect on how much you have changed already...keep in touch!

Well its been 2 days since surgery and I think so far so good..

It's been tough getting in my fluids and what not. I haven't even had anything to eat yet. I'm on "full fluids" and I've tried Jello, pudding, and boost...they all tasted terrible!

What tips or tricks do you have for getting enough Fluid and stuff in through the day?

Thanks so much!

Sheena :-)

I set a timer on my phone to go off every 3 minutes to remind me to take a sip of liquid. Early on this was the only way I could get close to the intake just to stay hydrated.

To keep me on track and get all my fluids in I stuck to the sample menu (as much as I could). Made sure every hour I got in the alotted amount. It will get easier ;)

      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'. ???

      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!
