Surgery tomorrow at 7:30am



Recommended Posts

so today is my clear liquid pre-op diet. i woke up obsessing about food. I can't say i am starving.. but i guess it's just the idea of NOT be able to eat anything. i bought some baby food today for after surgery.. and even that looks yummy.. hahah.. i'm nervous about tomorrow. i feel like i am losing focus on why i am doing this in the first place. well.. it's time for me to go prepare for tomorrow.

Congratulations on your decision! If you haven't already, be sure to take some before photos and to take your measurements as soon as your stomach goes back to normal after the surgery (mine was totally bloated afterwards from the gas they use). You'll want those things later!

I hope it goes very well and wish you all the best!

You'll do great and get through it just fine. FWIW, I just said a little prayer for you. My very best to you.

      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!
