April 2013 Post-Op Group

The procedure went well...except for being in a teaching hospital...the doctors are the best, but you have to put up with med students and residents...ha! They did an angioplasty on my throwing arm, left a big hematoma, or that resident would have been toast. I later told my doctor what he said...he commented that THAT would never happen again...hee hee.

I ate too much at the hospital...out of boredom...ordered snacks...healthy, but too much. I got rid of my halloween candy; it was calling to me. I can definitely tell I can eat more now...I really have to get diligent about logging....scary to be able to eat a bowl of Cereal if I choose to...

So I'm kinda stuck here with no healthy food...I thought I'd be able to go to the store. My husband went to costco, so we have three lbs of goldfish crackers and 36 Breakfast sandwiches, but no string cheese. Lol. I love how men shop!

Thanks...getting rid of my weird health issues, one hellish hospital visit at a time. lol. My husband..breakfast? Those are more like Snacks for football, I think. That and the 2 lb. Sausage he bought. Probably to eat with the goldfish. I'm gone two days, and they're feral. God only knows what my son's been eating. Better not to ask.

This is very neat! Saved to my phone so I can refer to it often. Ive always wondered what cravi gs meant that I was missing. Right after surgery I was craving pickles like crazy and I was never a pickle eater. A vetern rny'er asked me if I was taking my Vitamins which I had forgotten all about!! I was missing potassium. Very helpful; thanks!

Found the thread...are you guys here? Also, as you're undoubtedly aware, there's no way to go to the last page in a thread. This is unwieldy. I can't use the current button, as this also proves unwieldy; too many topics that do not pertain to me. Is there any way to bring back the topics too which we had subscribed? Also, the app no longer works on my Kindle. Hope to reconnect with all my April peeps.

      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!
