Waffles Anyone?



Recommended Posts

Ok, here I am going through many appointments where people are picking and poking and taking pics of my innards, and all of a sudden, I am getting cold feet, Waffling--- should I do this or not Look at the complications some people have what if I can't control my eating monster brain, what will my family (only told my adult children) think--- what about vomiting, sliming, infections of the port, == what if I die while I'm operated .....(I know dumb stuff, but it does swirl through the brain) Has anyone else felt like this????

I think we have all done that, it is normal. I think anytime you go through major surgery, you have all those thoughts. Good luck with your remaining tests, and let us know your surgery date.

I went through all of that and more. I think that what scared me the most was knowing that this was the end of the road. No more putting off the diet til Monday or after vacation, or any of those excuses we all use.

Your hungry brain will fight you like crazy, but you simply won't be hungry enough to give in and your logical brain will eventually kick in. My hungry brain fights me every night when it wants a sandwich or chips or something to put it to sleep.< /p>

I am 5 weeks post op and have lost 26 pounds and from reading these posts I know that I might plateau for a while because I'm eating solids now but I'm OK with that.

I would never have lost that weight if I didn't have the surgery and I'd be further on the road to an early grave. YOU CAN DO IT!!

Last week, as i entered the operating room, they put me on the table and i said, "you better hurry up and put me to sleep before I get up and leave."

See my point?

It's normal, we all do it. I am so thankful, I love it so far!

      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!
