Counting down



Recommended Posts

Well, the great countdown has begun! Today I started my pre-op liquid diet. Surgery is scheduled for next Monday. I can't believe it has got here this quickly. I got my letter of approval the day before Thanksgiving and the time since then has just flown. I went Friday for my pre-op tests and I have lost 7 pounds since November...was I shocked! So far today has been ok on liquids, but by the time Sunday gets here.......who knows?

Once again I want to thank everyone on this board. You have been an inspiration and a fountain of knowledge for me. Even though I haven't posted a lot, I am a lurker and am on here everyday...sometimes several times a day.

Ditto, take it easy, be relaxed,

We're thinking of you.

Your about to start a new journey, as you finish an accomplishment. Stick to your pre-op diet it may be to reduce your liver for easier access to your stomach..

Again, Keep us posted:D

      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.

        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!
