Monday is coming up so fast. Finished my last day of work. Today, I think I need to finish a bunch of house cleaning, make a shopping trip for last minute things, and I probably should start packing. So nervous!!!!

I've also suffered from some last minute doubts- mostly fueled by the liquid diet weight loss. Between my own dieting and the liquid dieting, I'm down 30 pounds. I'm starting to look and feel good, and people are noticing. When I tell them I'm having WLS, they're mostly shocked. That hasn't helped. Thankfully, my lovely family has kept me focused and reminded me how many times I've done this yoyo.

Woot! We just bought a mutual valentines gift! We ponied up some $$$ and got a super nice treadmill and weight bench! I invited over some friends and they assembled it for us. It's gorgeous! I'm all set for light, post op walking and eventual Couch to 5K training!

My only complaint postop has been about being plugged up...took almost a week to get back flowing again, and I just want it to stop lol..Other than that, eating and drinking were a nonissue, have no issues getting my food, shakes and drinks down.. I am enjoying the ability to walk 2-3miles a day on my errand days.. This surgery was far easier than my csections and gallbladder.

Omg have to be to the hospital for my surgery in less than 24 hours. Wow how the time has flew by (when I never thought it would get here) . Its been 18 years I've been looking into RNY and its almost finally here. Thanks to everyone for all the presurgical support and assistance. I'll update as soon as I can postop. We are having a family day today, going to a movie then swimming at an indoor pool, not sure if I'll make it back on later. See everyone on the losing side: )

      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!
