I will keep you posted how the surgery goes and how the recovery goes with the hernia surgery. Good luck with yours in August but I'm sure I will hear from you before that take care what would it be

For what it's worth, I had a hernia taken care of in conjunction with a hysterectomy two years ago. That was a fairly major operation--not laparascopic--but the hernia part was almost unnoticeable in terms of how I felt afterwards--other than being glad it didn't stick out any more! Your mileage may vary, of course, but I wouldn't stress about it at all.

This is a hiatal hernia located right at the end of the esophagus and the stomach so it has to be repaired before I can get my sleeve done. Thank you very much for your support looking forward to getting this taken care of next month.

Wow...,so you aren't full liquid yet? I was on liquid right away...premier Protein, Water, sf popsicles, sf Jello and broth. What are you eating now?

Sorry haven't been back here for a while.
I am doing much better, blasting through the full liquids and tempting the purred stage. I am mostly eating the full liquids and puréed Soups. Premier shakes for my protein. I will try cottage cheese today. What are your best protein foods you like? Hope your well.

Since I'm on liquids pre-op I do drink Premier Protein only the chocolates. I've tried many different Proteins and can tolerate them but Premier Protein seems to work. I know post-surgery I'll be on liquids for a while before going to pureed food I'll be very anxious to get some regular food and me even though it's just pureed. Wishing you well speedy recovery..

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
