So I'm two weeks post op and I just started back to work yesterday and it was absolutely miserable. I work as a customer service agent for geek squad in best buy and I was so exhausted by the end of my 5 hour shift I almost fell asleep in the car on the way home! Lol... I was also having like cold sweats and nausea....then about ten minutes till the end of my shift I went in the bathroom and threw up! It was pretty sad. As if all of that wasn't enough...after work I went and got myself a small sugar free slurpee...I was hot and I wanted just a little treat...I knew I wouldn't drink the whole thing anyway...well I walked in the front door of my house and the first thing I do is trip over my 100 pound Great Dane... I went flying...and spilled slurpee all over me! So here I was just rolling around on the floor covered in slurpee...crying and my dog didnt even notice what had happened! She's such a freaking moose! Lol. Anyway...that's my story...bad times all around!

Sucks that's you took a spill pun intended. That slurpee is carbonated and might have made you miserable at only two weeks out.. Rest up keep hydrated.. Oh and get your Protein in that will help with your energy levels.. Welcome to the sleeved side.. My boyfriend also works for Geek Squad he's a double Agent.. I'm Surprised you didn't take anymore time off Best Buy has awesome benefits..

Sorry to hear about your day - maybe you had the spill for a reason... I'd stick to Water or crystal light/generic if possible, for a wee while yet. Hope your days get better

Hope you feel better soon! Maybe just an off day. Have you been staying hydrated? I think your great dane did you a favor. I bought a SF 7 up slurpee about 3.5 months post op and it was the only and only time I was horrificly sick post op. I was doing work on site for a client and literally ended up in the bathroom off and on for about 3 hours. It was a nightmare! I will never drink a SF slurpee again. LOL.

      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!
