Omg, i felt the same about them not doing it because i too didnt feel that full feeling or discomfort when i ate or drank im on week 3 post op puree/ soft diet ?. The gas was real alot of belching my surgeon said that was normal. And yes it does get better i noticed yesterday that the gas qas not as bad. But im down about 15 lbs since the surgery i weigh every week on the same day so it helps . I told myself im not going to weigh agian til the end of the month just so i wont go bat **** crazy. You got this ?. The process is real the journey is rewarding in the end

December Surgery Buddies!
So loveies, week 1 post op down 7 lbs went in at 227 started my journey at 247 lbs. I find the post op liquid diet is frustrating just sipping fluids all day until go to sleep. It really does tale all day to get those fluids in. I belch alot not sure why. The past 2 mornings I've woken up extremely nauseous. Anyone else have/ had these issues. On a good note Dietician called scheduled appointment for next week to hopefully upgrade me to puree/ soft diet

Dont beat up on your self, this is my second time around , meaning my first attempt at surgery was halted no fault of my own just a unknown issue situs inversus, so ive been on this journey for a little over a year, went back to my 9old habits quickly, but gets better, im on my pre op diet and had a slip up nothing outrageous so just keep pushing forward i too had the second thoughts even with a week until my surgery, but i think of the health benefits in the end.

So follow up from my care coordinator relayed to me the provider in Delaware suggested that i find a surgeon closer to North Carolina, Raleigh were i live. That sucked. THAT WAS THE SURGEON THAT INFORMED ME THAT I HAD SITUS INVERSUS. He was in Pinehurst . So im back on the hunt again. ? if anyone know a surgeon that will take SURGERY Plus Benefits it would be great thanks
