This particular thread was a lifesaver last night. I was on day 3 of Clear Liquids and when I went to bed last night, I started feeling puny, sweaty, shaky, my stomach was in knots... I thought I was starving to death. All I wanted was a piece of bread! I just knew it was going to calm down my stomach. Well, I read this support group page instead and all of you veterans were posting positive things to people who felt like me saying that it was a sort of withdraw and to hang in there. Well I listened, didn't eat the bread, and had the worst nights sleep ever. BUT, I woke up this morning, felt 100% better and proud that I didn't give in to the old me! I'm on my way friends and I am proud that I stared my demons straight in the eye! I'm ready to rock this surgery tomorrow! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES!

Down 22 so far and isn't a full week. I think I really want to do the weight loss. Saggy sink isn't anything I am into!

New mini, if I can do this you can. Ay 61 I finally decided enough. I am in really good health and want to stay that way as long as I can. The weight was starting to cause me knee and back problems. So I just did it. The hardest part is trying to get your mind to behave. We will not starve... I promise. I am on the post op side now and so very thankful. Can't wait to be into my other smaller clothes that I have hanging in the closet!

      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!
