UGH! This snowstorm is kiling me!



Recommended Posts

Jeez, stuck in the house for 3 days. I am stir crazy and feel the need to eat all day long! I am doing the best I can, but it is so, so hard! I have been trying to get back on track from the holidays, but I keep flubbing! I purposely went out to shovel some more today, just to get out of the house!

I agree, Monday was one week since surgery for me, I wanted to get out of the house so bad, so I decided to go back to work and shoveled my car out. Not a very good idea one week post op and I hope I did not do any damage doing so, my back and arm are so sore today. I go for my post op tomorrow, not sure whether to tell my surgeon. But as with you, I am so bored being at home (always off on Tuesday and Wednesday), there is so much snow and it is so cold, I can't really go for a walk, and not risking going to the gym until my recheck.

I'm one week post op also. I am just taking it easy. I did some laundry and bending. Went back to my preschool and worked a few hours on Monday. But, I felt kind of weak and dizzy. Called my doctor and went to see physician's assistant today. She told me that it is still a major surgery and the body needs to heal. Take it easy and walk, not heavy lifting of any kind. Be so careful. I pushed it too much, didn't stay up on my pain meds and I'm kind of paying for it this week.

      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!
