If you are thinking about weight-loss surgery or waiting for a date I recommend



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm just 5 days out of surgery. Feeling good and have lost 12 pounds already. It take a lot of time after surgery to eat so take the time and get prepared and relax. But what I wanted to share was I got a book from the library called "The weight loss surgery workbook" Doreen Samelson. You can buy it or get it off of Amazon, chapters ect. It was a great process to go through and walked me through lots of questions and really prepared me for surgery.

Ok, this has nothing to do with this thread.....but it is advice for any other threads you may post.

Make all of your threads happy topics, because your Avatar sets the mood straight away. Your Avatar is the happiest face I have seen on this entire forum and any attempt to start a sad or serious topic would be fruitless. :lol:

When I click on such an enthusiastic smile, I'm anticipating reading about the the things that make you so happy. :P

      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!
