Tomorrow is the day????



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting on and now that it's so close I am freaking out. I just keep thinking about all my favorite foods and how much I used to eat knowing I will never eat like that again!

Those thoughts have crossed my mind as well as my date is coming up this upcoming Monday. But I try to remind myself this is what is necessary for me. Limitation is our friend and we should become besties with it. Fave foods will taste even better in moderation and I hope to appreciate them when I do occasionally partake. Also keep in mind that your tastes may change where you won't even care to eat your favorites. I kinda hope to be in that boat. Stay strong and good luck with your surgery! Please let us know how you are afterwards when you can!! ♡

You will be able to eat your favorite foods again. Just smaller amounts. And not for a few months. And if your lucky, by the time you can eat it, you won't really want it. Your taste will change and sometimes that's a good thing!

Thanks surgery went great! I am feeling so amazing and yes food is the very last thing on my brain so whooo hooo... I have been walking, sitting up at the nurses station and running my mouth lol, I did have a rough patch with gas when I first woke but It only lasted a couple hours cause they told me to walk so I know I walked about and hour out of those two and I have been keeping up walking every hour for 15-20 mins!!

It is really hard to get liquids down and I can not even think of food. I was do afraid that I was going to be starving only to discover every sip of Water is a fight!

      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!
