So I started my preop diet last Thursday and have been doing simply okay. I had a scope today which left me feeling horrible all day. I've been practically passed out on my couch since I got home. Also, my diet got messed up because of the procedure. I was a bit nauseous afterward so I didn't have my shake when I got home and had very little Water until I drug my arse out of bed at 12:30.

I was left with this AWFUL taste in my mouth from the procedure. And they gave me a med via my IV that dried up my secretions (saliva) which has been fun to deal with.

Then my body decided in the middle of the month, being on the pill, to start bleeding fairly heavily. I've also been having crazy cramps that Tylenol just doesn't touch. No Motrin for me for awhile.

Ugh, I've been unable to control my snackiness all day. Hoping tomorrow will be a better day.

I just feel sick to my stomach after the procedure and I've been burping a lot.

Anyway, sorry just needed to complain.

Oh I am sorry that you had such a crappy day. I am sure that your body is a bit confused at the moment with the pre op diet and then the procedure yesterday. Just try to focus on all of the good things that will come when you have had the procedure and you are on your way towards your goals. I always found that picturing being able to wear hipster jeans gave me the kick that I needed when I got down :)

I feel ya! I hate those days! I can imagine what your going through but be strong! Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully things will be brighter for you! Those scopes are never easy, but give it a day or two and hopefully you wont have any of the after effects anymore!

Thanks for all the kind words! I feel back to normal again today. I have my preop appointment with my surgeon today at 12:30 (AZ time). I am back to being excited.

The surgery center called today to see how I was feeling after yesterday and informed me they put air in my belly for the scope. Explains the monster burping yesterday! Haha!

I also woke up this morning with my weight loss since Thursday still hanging at 4.5 lbs. so I didn't do a ton of damage in that regard with my snackiness yesterday. Phew again!

      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.

        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!
