I can't believe it's only 3 weeks until surgery! I'm super excited to see how my life will change. Any other people having their surgery on April 7th?

I'm feeling ok. The gas pain is the worst. And also being scared that I won't get all my fluids in. I haven't been hungry at all. I've only had juice since I had surgery on Monday. Today I am going to try some Protein Shakes. The incisions don't hurt at all. I also had a hernia repaired that I didn't know I had. I will be glad when I can sleep on my sides. I've been forced to sleep on my back all the time. And I've had a terrible headache for some reason. Last night it woke me up a couple of times throbbing. The pain meds really help with any pain that I have and I'm tolerating liquids well with hardly and nausea at all. I had a little bit after surgery but not that much. I haven't thrown up at all. I do hate having to crush my meds to take them because boy are they awful!!! Now that does make me wanna throw up. But doc said only 2 weeks of that. I go for my first post op April 1st. So hopefully I will be moved to soft foods. Hope this helps a little.

      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!
