Anyone else have the same surgery date? I'd love to keep in touch if so. I'm having a million feelings all at once. Scared, nervous, but most of all READY to continue the changes I've already made for myself.

My surgery was scheduled for April 28 but has now been moved to April 15! I am suddenly very nervous. I don't have surgery until 1:30 in the afternoon. How about you?

Hi! My surgery is also April 15!! After being denied, I suddenly got the call that I had been approved. After being so sure all these months, I am suddenly very nervous and very excited. Good luck to you both! I look forward to checking in to see how things are going for you!

mine was last year on the 15th the best I feel and look good luck to all I started out at 252 ending is 172 from size 18-20 to size 10-12 happy very very happy I have a hard time still keeping certain foods down and I definitely stop eating at 5pm only Water which is fine sometimes I still have dumping syndrome but that is my own fault trying to eat more which only because I am hungry or the food is there I try to eat it all at once which is bad, the only advice I can give is as soon as you leave the hospital walk on treadmill or out side for one hour just walk oh yeah there is flab but keep exercising it won't hurt as much when you look in the mirror physical work will tighten the muscle but you have to work for it, two months ago I got on a sugar binge which is very bad but I was full terrible habit I am breaking that habit now because I do not want to gain I am totally scared to gain any weight. I eat a lot of yogurt lamb chops turkey deli rolled up no bread at all no Pasta pizza half slice from whole foods only I find I can only eat foods from whole foods or the fresh market, I hope you all make it you all sound excited also go to the support meetings wonderful. for Protein extra Protein I use Proteinex from Amazon p18 or p 100 I put it in my cherry yogurt from oikos I go to Vitamin shoppe get banana bites good for potassium love them small bag $1.99b 400mgs Vitamins chewable for me and nascobal B12 then I have chewable b12 and b complex Multivitamin chewables just as good as what the doctors office uses

      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.

        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!
