I wish I was excited as those exclamation points, but alas, I'm not. Today is freaking rough. Surgery is on Monday so I came up yesterday to Jacksonville and I'm staying at my parents' house. And they're having a BBQ.

Awesome.

Luckily, I can eat meat and veggies during my 2 week pre-op diet, but not so lucky that they have slathered everything in BBQ Sauce (15g of sugar, no bueno) and there is fruit and bread EVERYWHERE (also, no bueno). So now I'm sitting my room, mad as hell.

Oh, and for those of you that don't know, my father still doesn't know I'm having surgery. My mother's brilliant idea is to tell him tomorrow night before we go to bed so that we don't have to try and sneak out of the house Monday morning. I'm not too sure how that will go down, but I do know that I will be sleeping with my car keys, just in case.

I'll let yall know how things go tomorrow. I'm just ready to do this already!

Good luck to you on Monday! My surgery is at 12:30pm Pacific time. Wish it were earlier but that's ok. I just want to get it down and start the recovery. I'm going in expecting the worst for the first few days so that I am not shocked. . .LOL! It's been an interesting few weeks as I have been trying to mentally prepare myself that I should eat to live, not live to eat. What a novel concept, huh?

      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!
