You can do this.... One day at a time

The headaches are usually due to a reduction of sodium and sugar in your diet. I struggle with that too. Mustering the strength to eat right is hard enough, and then I get a splitting headache... Ugh.

To get through it I try to think about all the pain I'll be in after surgery and how exhausted and achy my body will be from the salt, sugar and calorie reductions. I imagine those first few months will be the hardest. Think of these headaches as practice for harder times... And never lose sight of the better times that will follow them. :)

I gave up pop the day of surgery... I know .. Shame on me... But the pain meds and just being totally out of it after surgery helped me with that... I never did get a headache

6 month diet is this for your surgery....im in Hawaii and all I had to do was take meal sub shakes for one week

I'm in Hawaii, too. Did you have your surgery at Pali Momi? If so, that's where I will be having mine (if I'm approved). :)

I have my consult on Wednesday, 11/28; and my nutritionist and psych meetings the next day on the 29th. I've also requested for my records to be sent to my surgeon, so that's about all I can do right now. I expect to be scheduling my endoscopy soon, and possibly a sleep study to check for sleep apnea.

      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?
