Trying To Be.....



Recommended Posts

Patient..... Trying to not want what everyone is having. I'm 10 days post op and I had my check up on Thursday showing that since my pre op diet I've lost a totally of 16 pounds. I haven't lost that much wait in years. Specially in that little time. Now I'm staying with my sister and her boyfriend and he works out in the oil fields and got my fiancee a job, money has been a problem because I was the only one working for about 3 months, my fiancee is going to get paid on Friday but since we have had no money my sister bought groceries and it's nothing but junk food!! I'm still on mushie stage so I'm so worried that if I eat what there eating I'm going to gain it back! :(

Make this your number 1 priority!! The band isn't gonna work with junk food. There's too much to risk, you just went through a major life changing surgery!!!! Stay strong!! When u get paid, stock up on all the good food, that's what I do! The more it's in your face, the more that's what u grab for!! Good luck!! You can DO THIS:)

      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!
