I live in Katy, just West of Houston.

Chasity I grew up in Katy! I went to Hutsell Elementary and Katy Jr High. We moved right before I started high school. I went back and visited a few years ago and can't believe how much it has grown. It has become an extension of Houston now. Before it was a few subdivisions and a lot of rice fields. lol How is your pre-op going? I am craving some meat! :P

Yes Katy has changed a lot in just the 12 years I've been here LOL, I remember when we first moved here it seemed so far out now it's like nothing to drive Katy.

I'm doing okay on my pre-op diet I am not on pure liquids I have to have two Protein shakes a day and one sensible meal. Most days I am able to do that this week is my last week and unfortunately I had to go out of town for work so it's been really hard, but when I do eat I always make sure it's Protein only no carbs. I get back in town on Thursday and then my surgery is Friday I'm really scared that I may not have lost the weight I need to and that they may postpone my surgery. I don't know how strict they are about it as my doctor never said anything officially in my pre-op visit but it said it on the paperwork.

I find having the shake in a bowl and "drinking" it with a spoon really helps! It slows me down and I get two bowls out of one shake. It tricks my mind into thinking I'm eating Cereal.< /p>

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
