Well this time tomorrow I will be leaving for the hospital! It's crazy that the day is finally here. Im Excited. I am still paranoid that something will happen to stop it but otherwise at this point I'm not super nervous or scared. I have my moments but I'm trying to keep myself so busy I don't have time to think. I've been reading on here and that has helped a lot.

I know the next bit of my life won't be easy but I think I can handle it. I wasn't required to do a preop diet except for being on a full liquid type diet today (at least it's not clear liquids). But I wanted to jumpstarty journey and already been working out and eating carefully. So I've lost 15 pounds and ready to get moving. I actually already met my first goal which was to get below 250- and that was amazing.

I never had a need to go cram in all those foods I won't be able to have for awhile- which shocked me.i am so focused on my future that the desire is just not there. I find myself looking at all I can eat instead of what u can't eat - so unlike me I can't explain it. This is just been an awesome experience sp far. BUT I'm not looking forward to today and a liquid diet (but only one day) or the gas pains or all the other trials associated with the surgery but I'm up to the challenge and I can say that with complete honesty!

Bring it on!! (hope I don't regret saying that ROFL)

      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.

        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!
