Can't Wait to Get the "Old Me" Back



Recommended Posts

I have a concert tonight for by boy band boyfriends NKOTB. Instead of dying with excitement I am worried about getting a table instead of a booth at dinner, fitting through the turnstiles at the concert, avoiding pictures with my friends and being too hot. I start my per-op diet tomorrow and surgery is 7/30. I know I made the right decision, can't wait to restart my life.

Enjoy the concert, put your fears aside and just think - you will never never be this weight again.... Life is on the up from tomorrow :-)

This surgery is not easy and there will be bumps in the road but life will get better and better! That's been my experience, even with the inevitable and downs.

So for tonight, have fun - and good luck with pre-op diet!!!!

Thanks for your words of support. I had a blast! I am off to a good start on pre-op diet. I just finished making some sugar free Jello and doctoring up some broth with bouillon. Yum, I hope. ????

      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!
