Ah three of us

let’s do this together then💪🏻💪🏻

I was the same excited nervous but feeling a little daunted this evening as I was supposed to be having sleeve tomorrow but it’s third April now ,,, another two weeks of pre op. I’m on very low fat and hardly any carbs here too. Not ordered Protein shakes/powder yet as yet as my daughter was going to go out and look about for me when she visits but I may order some now in advance. @maddiesmom @alchaley

Surgery triplets!! @alchaley and @feelinghopefulnow
I’m excited and freaking out a little... lol just nerves though!
I’m ready to be past the first month! I’m not scared but just trying to get prepared. My dr only has me on a low fat before, not liquid only, so I’m happy about that. I’m ordering samples of different Protein Drinks and powders so I’ll have them on hand. I’ve also gotten a few groceries here and there that I’ll need for the mush phase. pudding, jellos, cream of wheat, tuna, etc.

@MaddiesMomma @Feelinghopefulnow How exciting to have TWO surgery sisters! Although I'm only required to do 1 week low fat prior to surgery, I'm opting for 2 weeks to support my daughter who is getting sleeved next week. Next week I'll make sure to do even better than this week and then I have only 3 days of full liquids before surgery, not bad. I'm much more chatty on Facebook than here. If you prefer to keep in touch that way just send me a pm so we can link up!

Have a wonderful day ladies!!!!!

Day three of my liquid diet today and I actually feel pretty amazing. It’s nice to know I’m purging all the crap out of my body and I was super hungry yesterday morning but once I got over that hump I’ve been ok. I’m in a really positive mindset and ready for what is to come!

Finally got my surgery date of April 29th.

They told me if there is a cancellation they will move up the date, nonetheless I am happy. I already have all of my final appointments set up before surgery, meeting with anesthesia, consent form, blood work and nutritionist visit. I was also given the pre-op diet plan which will be 12 days long. (Oh boy)☺️. I am having the sleeve, my doctor and I went over everything again.

Good luck to everyone!!!

      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!
