I'm having surgery tomorrow! I'm so nervous. I've had several surgeries but never by choice. This is so scary. I'm worried I won't be able to stay on the liquid diet. That's really my only worry.

@@ANewMe9/21 yes of course. I didn't have any health issues but can't wait to be this done.

I'm in Stamford, Connecticut!!!!

I've been scheduling all the last minute stuff: clearance from my PCP, final appt. w/surgeon, & Anesthesiologist. Everything is happening so fast! :) I also need to get stuff ready for when I'm home and the pre op diet. How are you doing?

I've got my sheets in the dryer now. They gave me a special body wash to use tonight and tomorrow morning and said to sleep on clean sheets tonight. All the laundry is done. Washing the bathroom rugs now. Funny how you get the nesting urge. At least I don't have to buy a lot of groceries! Tonight I'm going to my grandson's first football game of the season. I'm hoping it will help the nervousness. I took all my measurements and will take a picture tonight at game. I'm stocked up on yogurt, pudding and Protein drinks. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. Surgery at 7:30. The Dr gave me a patch to put behind my ear to help with nausea after surgery. I've never heard of this but it makes sense. I'm to put it on tonight. That way it will be in my system when i get out of surgery.

Everything will work out fine! You will be in my prayers tonight. Just follow your doctor's directions! And I will soon meet you on the other side come Sept. 21st. :) I hope you will be here to calm my nerves! Lol (Even though there will a lot less of you! ;) )

@@ANewMe9/21 i still have to meet once more my surgeon, blood work, on September 8th I decided have the pre op diet with liquids. They didn't ask me but I think it would be good for me.

I watched every single YouTube video about pre op and post op. I'm a big planner so everything needs to be all ready to go.

I can totally relate, I'm a big planner too! I need to get ready for the diet. 1st wk is 1 shake a day and 2 lean meals. 2nd wk is 3 shakes a day and Clear Liquids. Day before is just clear liquids. :/

      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!
