HI I'm up at Tallering Peak for Mt Gibson Mining, I agree you do put on alot of weight with all the food being offered Brekky, lunch and Dinner!!

I was on Optifast shakes (liquid only) for the 3 weeks leading up to the surgery. I took 6 weeks off work as I do heavy lifting in my job, I stayed on the shakes for the 4 weeks after the op.I went back to site with a box of shakes and just ate milky weetbix for beakky and lunch was tinned or soft fruit and yoghurt and dinner was whatever soft food they had. I went and spoke to the site catering people and they were only too pleased to provide the sort of food I had to eat. I'm sure that it being argyle they will most definatley be able to provide you with "special meals".

Good Luck!!!!

HI

Any more mining people here?? I'm off to see Dr Couch in the morning, maybe for another fill. Should take me to 6mls?? I should know exactly how much liquid I have but at the moment it escapes me!

I got weighed in 2 weeks ago and have lost another 6kgs in the 4 week period!! (117.8-96.4kgs) Even better, I went into myer and brought my first outfit from the normal size section, god what a great feeling it was in the changing rooms :))

I have found that I can't stomach anything untill around 11am other wise it just come up. My hunger has pretty much gone there are even a few times that I have to remind myself to have something to eat.

Good luck to those who are heading into the operating theature soon, remember to relax and just think that it will all be for the better!

Jodie

      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.

      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!
