Ahh today I am going to be a busy bee lol. Surprisingly I fell asleep at 7pm and woke up at 4am today I must be really nervous lol. Today at 10am I have my ortho appointment, 11am getting nails done (YAY) then at 1:30 I have my PRE OP where I meet with my surgeon, get blood tests, talk with the coordinator and buy Iron and Vitamin C (already have my multi, Calcium, vit B 12 & BA choc rasp truffle chew mmm). I have anemia and need the extra Iron and the vit C will help the absorbtion. My goal weight is to be 215 for the surgery and I really hope I got there, I was 217 around New Years... I skipped dinner and I am super hungry now so I am going to grab a Premier Protein shake- 30 grams of Protein I really hope this keeps me full *fingers crossed*

My surgery is on Wednesday the 25th and I have 4 weeks approved time off. My damn coworkers- they keep pushing to know what surgery I am getting and now they want to know what hospital I will be at so they can visit me are you serious?!?! I mean come on people how nosy can you get! Even my manager said that he wants to visit. At this point I am going to my job and let everyone know that I just want my family and want the respect to be left alone. I've been at my job for five years and we all know each other and hang out off work like family so if this was happening to one of them yes I would be concerned but respect their decision of privacy. But my manager joined a year ago and this is private. I need to tell him that again. I think he told my coworkers I have cancer and I hope that's a rumor. It's just- today I'm full of so many feelings and needed to vent. Only my parents, brother and sister know so this is hard to really have the people that surround you DAILY not know. I do hope you all have a great day/evening.

      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.

      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!
