What Are Some Things You Can't Wait for POST OP?



Recommended Posts

@@butterfyeffect I completely understand. I can not wait to walk into Old Navy and shop, instead of having to purchase their items online only.

For now, I can't wait for the next month to be over. At this point, I will be happy to get back into my 22/24 size clothes that I already have in my closet :) .

Can't wait to come home and not be glued to the couch all night due to lack of energy.

Never been a runner, but for some reason I want to be able to run for exercise.

Stop wearing sleep apnea mask!

Cross my legs, don't ever recall being able to do so.

Not worrying about fitting in booths or how sturdy outdoor furniture is.

Shopping in normal size clothing stores and not paying $60 for a pair of pants.

Being able to ride at amusement parks. I live 30 minutes from hershey park, plan on getting a season pass next year!

Not feeling like everyone is looking at you when you're in public.

Having my husband and son benefit from the new healthily eating and getting them more active with me.

Actually being in photos instead of always taking them.

Many more that I can't think of right now. I see July 24 as the start of many good changes to come :)

Throwing on shorts and a tank top, and leaving the house wearing them! I live in south Florida, it's hot! But I never wear shorts or tank tops out, this would be so awesome for me!

I can't wait to not have to worry about sliding into a booth at a restaurant with friends.

I can't wait to put my laptop on my lap.

Cant wait to cross my legs.

Cant wait to sit on flimsy patio chairs.

Cant wait to fit in a school desk when I go to teacher parent meetings.

Oh my gosh these hit the nail on the head for me-every single one. I'll add:

Wearing a one piece bathing suit with no skirt and looking good!

I'm ready to chew some food again! Seems like I've been on liquids forever! I am ready to wear bright colors and smaller sizes. To sit in a restaurant booth and have room and to not have little kids stare at me.

No, expensive is figuring size 8 is what you were in college and when you got to size 8, you spent a big chunk of money on clothes.

Only to go smaller to the point that the size 8's you can't wear any more.

Yes!!! And then starting to worry as the size 6's you again invested a chunk in start getting loose ????

      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!
