This has been the longest week of my life! But finally my surgery date is TOMORROW! I am so excited!

I will only be missing one day of school if everything goes well and we have a 4 day weekend because of MLK Day on Monday so I'll have some time to recover.

My mother offered to drive me around to my classes until I feel better about driving and I don't have to go back to work for 2 weeks!

It's going to be a tough semester but it will be well worth it!

@@fit4life123 how did you make out?

I was release last night and felt pretty good. Trying to get my liquids down which is a challenge but got about 30g of Protein in and 30oz of Water so far. Will do another Protein Drink later so I should be around 60g and hopefully 60oz of Water

I was discharged today and while I do feel sore I'm not in any pain other than the gas pressure.

I am now doing puréed/soft foods(day 3 post op) but will wait until 6 or 7ish to eat, since I was finally able to have a thicker Soup for lunch(I was on Clear Liquids, no broth on my day after surgery)

I'm trying to focus on keeping hydrated and Protein.

      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!
