I too had my hiatal hernia fixed. My abdomen is sore. Having problems bending and full of gas. I got to stay in the hospital two days. I thank-god for that because I was nauseous as heck. Im at home eating jello. Cant wait for the broth tonite. Congrats too all. Glad to be on the other side.

Ok so I am at the hospital yesterday monring at 8:30. My mind is committed and I am ready. I check in, get my admin band on my wrist and I wait. And I wait. And I wait some more. My doctor comes out and tells me that they have the pre-authorization, they are just waiting for some yahoo at the insurance company to sign off on the final authorization. At 2:30 my doctor told me that he would rescedule for next monday.. the 28th. I was so disappointed... I just want this to be over. Im so ready to be on the other side of this. The anxiety is starting to wear on me... there is one uptick... the doctor allowed me to have solid meals yesterday...but now its back to the liquid. So to all my June 28th banded brothers and sisters.... good luck!

Monday is my date. As I am sitting here thinking about it, Im getting pretty nervous. I'm glad to see everybody else surgery went well and I will pray the same for myself...wish me luck

Surgery is seven days away. Im really starting to get nervous. I meet with my doctor tomorrow. I have been on liquid diet for three weeks. I was just wondering about the gas pain people keep talking about? Im also worried will I be able to return to work the Thrusday after surgery. When you say pain, do you feel like you have done too many sit-ups. Just wondering. I cant wait for this to be over with. I definitely want to be on the "other side" of this. But hey what better father's day gift can I give to myself, but the gift of freedom from obdesity.

Im on day 2 of my liquid diet. As they say, the only easy day was yesterday. Im taking Muscle Milk, broth (chicken, beef and Vegtable) sugar free jello and pudding. I think the secret is not waiting until you are starving, but once you start to feel hungry, to have one of your "food" sources. The muscle milk keeps me going for about an hour or two. In between time I have jello and water. Am I full- no. Is it fun-no, but it is bearable.

I just got my date yesterday...June 21st. On day two of liquid diet. Im nervous anxious scared and hungry. If I had known sunday was to be my last real meal.... now all I have are the memories. Anyhow here's to past memories and new hopes for the future.
