12/31 surgery date - 1st time in a long time that I am excited for NYE



Recommended Posts

I stopped at Walmart today and picked up my GasX, listerine breath strips, chapstick, Halls Vitamin drops... otherwise, PJs, pillow, basic toiletries, hoodie and some slipper socks... iPad is loaded with new books and I think I am ready to go... filled all scripts today and already have to start an argument with my insurance over my Nexium prescription...

I could use a few book recommendations! I've got a few on my list but nothing I'm really excited about.

Mine went really fast! I've heard people's periods starting pretty quick too. Hope you are feeling better! I'm having trouble sipping liquids and haven't gotten any Protein in yet. I plan on trying a pre made shake tonight. I'm so excited for us! We made it! Happy New Year to us!!!

I was home by 2:30.. my period started also so that was a surprise... I came home and laid down and slept too long so I am behind on my pain meds and feeling it... no problem with liquids or Protein, thank god... just some issues with coughing, irritation up near my shoulders which I think is gas and soreness where my drain was... I have the kiddos running around etc so hoping I can get some real rest tomorrow here at home by myself and set some reminders for my pain meds. I feel like I can get a decent amount of liquid down... I have to be careful to not gulp it too quickly or "sid the sleeve" reminds me quickly that he can be a real ass

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
