@@Donegirl4life - thinking of you today! Best of luck!

@@Titaniumsleeved2014 - mine is Wednesday, as well! Soft foods/protein shakes today and Clear liquids tomorrow. I should've taken today and tomorrow off of work, because I'm positively useless with nervousness/excitement.

Praying for you...... One week from today will be my turn . I don't know how to feel my emotions are all over the place.

Thanks! Praying and sending positive energy to you. It's natural to have varying feelings. Be gentle with yourself. We are all here for you.

Thanks, chica! The pain is beginning to dissipate. I started to walk around. It definitely helped having the binder on. I'm ready to go home now!

A few tips:

- follow directions!

- trust your body

- it's okay to ask for pain medicine, you do not get brownie points for taking pain. It only raises your blood pressure

- do not try to overdo it!

- walking helps with the gas pain

- it's okay to hit the nurse button when you feel anything out of sorts, you are not bothering them

- allow people to help you

@@Donegirl4life Congrats! And I'm glad you're doing well.

When you are feeling up to it, any details you care to share, I'm anxious to know given you're at the same hospital with the same doctor where I will be this Monday.

Check-in, pre-surgery, recovery, getting to your room, liquids, how you're feeling, etc, etc. Anything you care to share would be much appreciated! Thank you.

This is my seventh post op day. I'm feeling pretty good - not much pain at all. However, the one thing that IS a pain is trying to get all the liquids in! The nurse from the hospital called to check up on me and said if I get at least one 20-ounce bottle of the Isopure in a day that's pretty good. Anyone else having issues getting their fluids?

BTW - congrats to those that just had their surgery. I knew it would go well!

1st day post op. Miserable from two tablespoons of veggie broth, drinking since 645 this morning. But I will keep that in mind. I literally have to take ten every hour to get it down.

The very first sip I took from the little cup was a bit more than I should have tried. I threw it up. I know what I did wrong and it hasn't happened again! just pace yourself. By the time I finished ONE item on my Breakfast tray - the lunch tray arrived! Hang in there girl!

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
