Surgery 3/9 .... Two week fluid diet (3/10-3/24)



Recommended Posts

I'm having feeling of disgust towards myself for not being able to overcome these constant head hungers.

When I was a child sometimes we didn't have enough food and I always told myself I would never put myself in that situation again. During these last 7 days I have been bombarded with locked childhood memories. I know just 7 more days left and all should be well ... right.

I had my surgery on the 9th too, and I feel those constant head hungers too. But I just remind myself how important my health is and it helps out a little. When I start craving something I just take a sip of my Protein shake or try to put my train of thought somewhere else. Hope this helps.

Maybe you should talk to someone about it if you can like a therapist or counselor or get in tune with yourself or Higher Power if you believe in one and try to work through the situation that way. Maybe just write about it in a journal or a blog and try to get the feelings that keep haunting you out of your head and put them into perspective. I start the liquid diet next week so I don't know what you're going through yet but it sounds like you're going through a test. Just stay strong and don't give in. You can do this!

      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!
