Countdown to Surgery on Tues Apr 24th



Recommended Posts

Wow, so many mixed emotions, I was fine the last 2 days I had my filter put in and started my Liquid Protein diet. Then last night and today I have thought food, wow can I do this, what a change, will I be hungry after, will I ever eat real food again. ( like I am losing my best friend who listens to all my problems) But then I log on to here and I read such powerful positive information and comments and I am excited to be finally making this change in my life , to keep my life and actually live my life. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on here for sharing the good and the bad. It is wonderful.

Thanks

Hey lost_secret! Nice to have you join us here at LBT. The liquid diet isn't easy but well worth it. You will make it! Just keep reminding yourself of everything you are gaining by giving up food for a short time. Yes, you will eat real food again but you may be surpried at how lttle it appeals to you. Food was my answer to everything. When I was lonely, I ate; when I was sad, I ate; when I was depressed, I ate and so on. It's definitely a change but keep your eye on the final result. Best of luck to you! As soon as you feel up to it after surgery, let us know how you are doing.

      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!
