there is a reason that this surgery works! And that is because of the "punishment part". I'm a firm believer that people are successful because they are fearful of feeling like you did, or because they made a mistake or two and don't ever want to feel that again.

I started my liquid diet yesterday, hungry yes but determined. I'm having some fierce headaches, anyone else having headaches?

I'm glad your not getting the head aches, I'm day four and the headaches are not as bad today. I tried the low sodium soup I though I'd been assaulted so disgusting.
We've got this fellow November buddies. 🤗🤗

Hello Peeps,
I just wanted to put this out there for you guys. If you havent tried the StarKist tuna creations I would suggest them. They are only about $1 a packet and they are easy to grab and go. Only about 100 calories per packet and I can eat two packets and be very full. The salmon is also really good. a little more expensive but very convenient and filling. Just a thought.

I'm stilled gutted and been on a Bing, trying to pull myself together. I rang the surgeons office this morning to see if they could give me a date for the sleeve. I need something to hold on to. I'm glad your doing better and your pain is easing. Keep your chin up thinking of you, huge hugs 🤗

That's terrible why didn't they just do the sleeve then? I've heard of people having the other in surgery for whatever reason. I'm so so sorry I can't imagine being opened up and the surgery not have been done.

((hugs)) So sorry to hear this report sweetie!!! ((hugs))
I think @raising3monkeys has the right spin on this! This was an exploratory with a hernia repair!!! That alone will help with healing down the road and will make you feel better soon!!! And as soon as you're healed from this surgery, you will be able to go back in and have a VSG that is VERY successful for so many!!!
Heck, we might end up being surgery buddies!!! Try to stop the dissappointment from sinking in. Refuse to feel it. Flip the switch, say "NO!" And turn on a different light with a positive message: "I WILL heal and have VSG very shortly. I WILL feel better and have less GERD now that the hernia is repaired. I WILL feel better every day!!"
Hang in there honey!

Thank you and good idea 🤗

I'm so sorry. How disappointing.

You can do it again. Think of this as being the hernia repair surgery in preparation for your bypass.

Best to you -

Way to go you [emoji4]
