Hi

I have a schedule I follow to keep me on track and focus. I stared taking my Vitamins about 3 weeks prior to surgery to get into the habit of taking my vitamins.

I take Multivitamin with Iron and folic acid.

B-12 complex

Calcium nitrate 1200mg with Vitamin D 3

My food schedule

7:00 Protein shake

9:00 snack Greek yogurt

12:00 lunch Soup w/ Protein

3:00 Protein Shake

6:00 dinner Soup w/ protein

8:00 snack SF Jello SF pops

In between I have to make sure I am drinking Water I'm not near the 64 ounces yet averaging about 40 not counting SF pops which add to Water content.

Meds

Levisin to control stomach cramping

liquid percoset only drank it three times since being home

Zofran for nausea

Childrens liquid tylenol for mild discomfort or headache took that twice.

And on top of the surgery I got my period two days post op and I'm doing great!

      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.
