Seraya I'm thinking of you!

Good luck to all the May 3 sleevers!!

I'm still having some pain and gas pains have started, although they are not unbearable. I was discharged and came home, but I miss the hospital bed! Only because it props you up and it is much harder to get out of my normal bed.

Hi everyone! I made it to the loser's bench!!! All went well. I did wake up in lots of pain. Nurse gave me morphine and I started feeling better. I did have some nausea but it cleared. No gas pain yet (I'm knocking on wood it stays that way!).

Good luck to all the May 2nd sleevers!




Hi Jen! I'm on the bench now too. Surgery was yesterday. Nausea more than pain was my issue. No I definitely feel the gas. Been walking, not sure how much that helps. Trouble getting the fluids in. Feel funny in my throats but shooting for 30 oz before 2 pm when come back to reassess and see if I can go home. I will say it's bee harder than I though and I look forward to feeling better each day .

I hope you feel better soon. I'm sure the first couple days are hard. I know I felt awful for a few days after my gallbladder removal. Keep us posted. We are thinking of you early May sleevers. [emoji173]

I've had some nausea too, but pain is still my biggest problem. Good luck on the 30 oz! I'm up to 22 for the day and it has been constant work to get them in. You def will fee better with each day. I'm envious of those that feel good enough to go to the mall after discharge! We'll be there soon enough.

That's crazy. I mean I could take a littl walk but I don't even feel like talking to anyone on the phone, let alone go to a mall. I also don't know how people do this on a Thursday then go back to work on a Monday. I'm glad it's over. Now just the drinking.

It is interesting how it affects different people. I can't imagine going to work so soon! Lots of people say you do feel better on the 4th day after and I hope it is true for me! I'm ready to shower and walk around some more.

Most of my pain is when I take a deep breath. The only other thing that really others me is trying to drink. It feels weird and my throats get all gurgly. Also, I know this happens to some people but I wish I wasn't one of them. I'm hungry. Like tummy grumbling and that sensation yo feel when your hungry. I hope that goes away soon too. I just weight myself and I'm up10 lbs from yesterday morning from the IV fluids and swelling. I know it will work itself out but 😭

My tummy is rumbly too, but I swear it's not hungry. I think it's air cause soon after, I burp. Still at the hospital, with a chance of getting discharged tonight. I made by way from 1 oz Clear Liquids an hour starting after surgery, to now, 8 oz clear liquid in an hour. Now the doctor said "give her sugar free pudding, sugar free Jello and sugar free ice cream and if she can handle those, we can discharge her. It feels like SO much food, wtf. I'm not sure I can do it, lol.

My pain is my incisions and my stomach. Particularly if the antispasmodic is running low, I feel my tummy spasming. :/ I also get some pain whenever I "eat" (ok, drink) but the surgeon said that's normal too.

      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!
