Hey all! Just took my first shower with the Hibiclens. It's so real now. Getting up at 4am to be to the hospital by 5am. Surgery 8:15 am. So happy to know so many are going through what I will be going through. It's reassuring and encouraging. Sending love to all ~Angie

Sounds like you are doing well!

How's it going Jen! I'm feeling better each day. Not really even struggling to get my liquids or shakes in. Tomorrow moving on from all liquid to adding some yogurt.

Surgery scheduled for 5/23. Pre-op diet officially starts tomorrow, but I started it last week. I had a few off-plan meals over this past weekend, plus some wine, but I'm back on track today. It just stinks to have to go through the rough first few days again.

I started it today. So far it's ok. I have issues at night though. Started practicing chewing my food thoroughly. Weaning off caffeine too. It'll all be worth it in the end!

I had mine May 1st! I also had a Hiatal hernia repaired while the surgeon was in there. It's been tough. I'm a business owner and have really never felt the level of dibilitation as I do now. Each day gets better, but mentally has broken me down. I've still been trying to walk about two miles a day and get my Water and Protein intake. Yesterday was not a good day. I have just heard the first 2 months are hard, then it's smooth sailing!!! How are you doing??

      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!
