Surgery Is Aug 2Nd And Im Having The Empthy Nest Thing.



Recommended Posts

Getting so excited as the time gets closer. I often find my self looking for some thing else I can do to get prepaired. Today I think I will go through my closet and dig out some of my smaller clothes (at this size a 16 is smaller clothes) lol. I think when I can start to fit in some of those clothes in the back of my closet, then ill be doing good. Can't wait to see some results.

Yeah, I've started doing some nesting myself. Got rid of all my biggest clothes that I'll never wear again. Kept just a few to get me through the first week or so. It makes it feel more real. I thought the time would drag on but it's actually going by quickly!

My surgery is 8/1, I plan on going through my closet today as well. I have all sizes and think I will pull out the smaller sizes and keep then sorted by sizes in a box or something.

Good luck, you'll be surprised how fast you will fit into those size 16's. I went from size 20/22 to size 8 in six months.

I'm August 2nd too....it feels like all of a sudden, it's coming real quick!...probably because I'm on the pre-op. I feel the exact same way...am I prepared? Have I done enough?..do I really know what to expect when I get home? About a mo th ago I did a huge purge of my entire home, clothes, etc. I'd been holding on so long to the smaller sizes (9-16)..haven't been a 16 for 7 years so those real small sizes are old! Ha-ha! I felt it was really purging to even get rid of the old small clothes...they were also a reminder of my past failures. I felt like this time, this is it! And I'm buying all new clothes and Celebrate each smaller size (or raid my sister's closet) I did keep 2 super small tops...when I fit into those again It will be a good day! :)

Good luck and keep me posted how things are going...message or friend me...I'd like to stay in touch!

      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!
