hi!! my surgery is friday and im very excited...not nervous yet....prob will be by thur night! lol

.....going shopping tomorrow for post op things....i finally found gasx strips in Walmart, after looking everywhere else for weeks! so,stocked up on those....on my list: Tomato Soup, Protein shakes of course,chicken broth, yogurt,diet v8 splash,sugar free hot chocolate...my only worry(besides the gas),is that i'll be starving...even though i've done well on my 10 days of liquids, i would kill for a burger or a slice of pizza!! lol

my paperwork from the surgeon actually says to avoid tv for the first 10 days after surgery,because of the large number of food commercials!!

good luck to you!!!!

Hi my surgery is Thursday. Getting very excited but more and more nervous. I have all my Clear Liquids, gas x strips and liquid Tylenol. I have to work all day tomorrow but then I have to pack a small bag for the hospital and get laundry and any heavy lifting out of the way. It seems like just yesterday I had an entire week to go now just one more day wow I still can't believe it.

      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!
