Surgery Is Thursday!!!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is Thursday and I'm so nervous about this journey in my life I'm starting....I have always been the fat sister, friend, co worker, wife, stepmother....without the weight who am I??? I dont know how to be skinny. I actually had a dream last night that I was getting prepped for surgery and before they put me under i freaked out and said.." i cant do this" :ohmy:and I jumped off the table and ran out....I just did my before pics which are in the album I just created and NOW I remember why I'm doing this...I'm flippin huge!! I cant believe I let myself get this big etc. But I am still nervous about who am I if not the fat person.:confused2:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Blessings to all

I SOOOO kwym!!! Not only how not to be the fat girl, but also how to deal with the fact that as we get thin, how to deal with the attention we'll be getting. (It's AMAZING...you stop being invisible when you're not fat anymore.)

      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!
