Here I go.... Prayers welcome



Recommended Posts

On my way to hospital. Feeling good and focused and not too nervous. Finally shook off the last 4 pounds that had crept on over the last few weeks and going into this at 297. I really wanted surgery day to be under 300. I was bummed because it didn't look like that would happen but liquids and nerves seemed to do the trick. And I quit all caffeine a week ago (that was harder than anything in my opinion!!!). So here I go. Ready to conquer the world! It's a bit surreal to be here after this "hurry up and wait" for a date. I am meditating and praying and I'm asking for any and all prayers to come my way too. Thank you to all who have offered encouraging words on the journey so far.

pretty good story to start your new journey today..............

by the time you read this, you might be resting in bed after surgery

get some rest

drink slllllowly

walk as much as possible (start slowly)

this will help with any gas you might have

you are on the way to a healthier, happier, longer life :)

who deserves it more :)

      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!
