How did work go. I agree your tough. No way I could do anything that soon. Try to rest some. Your body needs time to heal!

I'm so amazed you could work . I couldn't do anything for a week! Dont do too much. You had major surgery and your body really needs to heal for you to be successful. As I said before please rest and take care ofyourself!

On my 1 day clear liquid diet in preparation for the surgery tomorrow. Hospital just called to confirm. I'm so nervous and pensive and feeling like i'm on the precipice of something amazing!!

We're renting a recliner so I can sleep at night - cause if i sleep in my own bed my 3 year old will CERTAINLY jump on my stomach at night. And we just can't have it.

But seriously??? I'M. SO. HUNGRY. I. CAN'T. THINK. STRAIGHT. All this clear liquid is NOT cutting it. GOSH.

Hey everyone! My surgery is on Friday and I started my liquid diet yesterday. I also went and had all my blood work done..well they have this program where I can see all my blood work results..prob not a good thing because I'm a TERRIBLE worrier!! I saw that my white blood count was elevated a little outside of the normal range and I'm just hoping and praying this isn't going to turn out to exclude me from surgery or become a problem. Also, I feel like an emotional wreck today and that I'm on the verge of losing it!

Hi! Congrats on your surgery! I'm afraid I can't help with the white blood count. I'm sure your doctor would have told if it would be a problem though. If not I would just call them a check with the nurse just to a peace of mind. I feel you on the emotional wreck. It's been a roller coaster for me. I'm on day 12 of my pre op diet and let me tell you it has been so difficult trying to keep track of my emotions. I'm sure it's because my body is getting use to these changes so I'm becoming way more hormonal. My surgery is Thursday and I'm freaking out. Stay strong! It will all be worth it!

      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!
