Starting To Get A Bit Nervous. Surgery On Tuesday



Recommended Posts

I am nervous and excited all at the same time. but hearing people say they haven't lost much weight or there hungry all the time makes me nervous. I am hoping this works, I have been working so hard. but the hunger is what scares me.

Just make sure to get enough Protein and drink/eat before you get crazy hungry. I find if I let myself get too hungry, all sanity is out the window.

Yeah I do really well. I get the munchies at night but it is head hunger not real hunger. I drink Water to curb it or a diet soda cause it kinda bloats me a bit which makes me not want to eat. I have lost 40 lbs. I was banded 3-1-12. If I can do it anyone can!

Some drs are ok with diet soda, some are not. I have one once in awhile. I just dip slowly and enjoy it. As long as it doesn't keep me from drinking enough Water I have no guilt

I was nervous about the same issues...but I am now 5wks out and doing great..On any regular diet you can feel like you are starving, but then on a regular diet, you can end up binging, and then starting back at square one..This way, you get your fills, and keep going..Life is still going to happen, so it will not be like you will never eat certain foods again if this is your choice, but it will get easier to let it go...You can do it!!!!!! :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.

      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!
