Hi Everyone! I am 45 y/o, married to a wonderful man and have a terrific daughter. I have 3 fur babies (cats). I started my 2 week preop diet today (so far so good). My surgery is scheduled for 6/25. Trying to keep busy to distract me from food temptations and pre-surgery jitters. :wacko: Never thought I'd say that it may be good that I work full time, so that I have something that requires my focus and attention. Good luck to everyone working towards their goals!

Been gone for a while but back. Since leaving, I have been really working hard on fitness. Started CouchTo5K and I am now in the middle of week 7. Doing a kettle ball bootcamp two times a week for some weight training and I am playing in a "Old Guy Lacrosse" league. Lots of fun and lots of work. Bad part is I have stalled for the past 3-4 weeks. Not eating enough protien and too many carbs. I have refocused and making sure I am getting my 60-70g of protien in a day.

Take care to all!

      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!
