Tomorrow is the day



Recommended Posts

I start my 2 week liquid tomorrow and tonight I am going out for my last dinner. I am scared, nervous and excited all at the same time. I have a lot of anxiety also- questioning myself, can I do this? Can anybody relate?

Yep, and yes you can. I did it!

The worst part in many ways was the pre-op diet because you are hungry like a lion. After surgery at least you have almost no hunger.

The first couple weeks are recovery mode but after that it's a ramp up to a much better you. I feel better then I felt 10 years ago. The 63 lbs lost in 13 weeks is physically liberating. I can't even describe how good I feel physically. I could just run the upstairs just for fun. Before, I made sure I had all I needed when I went downstairs in the morning and my kids were the one taking and getting things for me. I avoided stairs like the plague.

Good luck

I can relate. My last meal I went with my siblings and thought it was like " the last supper". Enjoy your dinner tonight. I am 3 weeks since surgery and glad I may the decision. The 2 weeks will go by fast.

      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.

      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!
