Oh my gosh 1 week away from my new birthday! I can't wait to start this new adventure. I'm excited and a lil nervous. I took this weekend to really tell myself I was not gonna see food in the same way. I haven't been able to eat as usual. I think maybe in a sub conscious way, I am preparing myself mentally for this. I hope so. My husband is so excited fro me as well. So that is such a comfort. I am lucky that the majority of people in my life are a positive light for me. I hope this week flies by for me.

I'm sure it will go fast, just keep busy!!! Are you on a Pre op diet?

It's awesome that you have support from your husband, my boyfriend was so nervous for me. But he is happy with how I am going now (had surgery yesterday) and he has been supportive all along.

Good luck!

Well girls I am putting up some pics from my favorite department stores on my fridge and all over my office at work. I have so many plans on a new wardrobe. My brothers said they will take me on a shopping spree so ....I think they will be regretting they ever said that! LOL

I'm feeling ok, lots of pain yesterday but I have a button that releases pain killers into my IV which really helps. I woke up about every hour last night which was horrible and have been awake since 4am now.

I am feeling better but if I forget to keep pressing the button the pain comes back pretty bad.

I had to do 3 weeks of a Pre op diet to shrink my liver. It was pretty hard and I cheated a couple of times so your lucky you only have to do 2 days haha. Starting early might be a good idea though, it reduces the risk of anything happening in surgery

      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!
