@@sgc sorry to hear that keep hanging in there. I know that feeling pre op. How's your activity level? Are you at 30 min daily? I'm still on liquids advance into purees on Fri.

I have tried other foods and tolerated it well but I really want to stick to the plan.

It's easy to fall back into old habits although we can't eat as much so I'm hoping that's not an issue for you. Nothing is stopping us from making poor choices but us.

I hope things turn around for you. Increase your fluids, Protein and activity and talk to your team they will help you get over this hump.

I'm at 60 minutes a day exercise. It's really the same as I was preop.

Four weeks out and I had something interesting happen. It was 3 am and I had awoken which is normal for me. Everything was fine and I readjust to go back to sleep. Suddenly I feel something come into my throat. It burned like hell and I thought I was going to vomit. It literally choked me and I shot up out of bed. I didn't vomit but I belched a couple times and everything was fine. I worried about what would have happened had I not been awake? Would I have ended up like Cass Elliot?

Who is Cass Elliot? Are you taking medicine for reflux? That's what it sounds like.

Cass Elliot was a singer from The Mamas and the Papas who, by urban legend, died in her sleep choking on a ham sandwich.

I am not taking medicine for reflux. I haven't had reflux until last night.

      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!
