Man oh man, still pushing myself a bit too much - last night we took a walk around the block and then I had to go directly to bed, lol. Unloaded/loaded the dishwasher this morning, and I've been sitting down ever since. I'll be glad when the fatigue goes away - I'm day 5 post op today, down 4 lbs since surgery, down 17.2 from my preop liquid diet :) Abs are even feeling a bit better, too. Don't know if I'm brave enough to venture out of the house yet though, haha.

I hope everyone is feeling well today, and good luck to tomorrow's bandsters! :) :) :)

I was banded on Thursday and I'm getting better every day. I've probably only had 1 whole Protein Shake since surgery and I know I have to get nutrients in so I can gain more strength. Thankfully I've not been hungry and I'm really afraid of hunger setting in. Still debating on whether or not to go to work on tomorrow. I'm going to have to take it day by day.

5 days post-up and i feel wonderful! my husband and i went out today and walked the flea market and than we even went out and got tattoos afterwards. (our 1 yr is on September 3) I still am a little sore but not that much at all. I find my self still gassy i feel like a man with my burps and farts. Thatsn not usually like me to just let it all out but i cant help it. I slept in bed last night and it felt wonderful still using the heat pad but ive been awake for almost 11 hours and thats really good considering ive been doing nothing but sleeping! Also havent been taking an rx pain pills, been sticking to nothing but aleve. I even cleaned the house today.. with help from my husband and son. I just hope the days get better and better and i dont go down hill anymore. I hope everyone is doing good and if you are still having troubles remember there is light at the end of the tunnel!!!!

      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'. ???

      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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
