Anyone Else Nesting Before Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I have seriously been nesting here. I've scrubbed my house from top to bottom; cleaned out every room, including the garage; and, even done 3 dump runs. I'm just about to go through all the cabinets in the kitchen to rearrange and organize them, donating old items that we never use. I feel like I'm totally nesting here and I think I may be driving my husband insane. I cannot relax to save my life these days before surgery. I'm so anxious for this surgery and I still am having nightmares that they're going to tell me I can't have the surgery. Anyone else going through this?

YES!! I'm doing the the exact same thing. There are so many things I keep thinking I should get done. At least it's burning calories ;)

I call it cleaning house and keeping busy which takes my mind off food, even now. Good luck.

I did that! I bought all my daughter's back to school supplies and clothes, too. The best thing is, I came home from surgery to a sparkly clean house!

I did the same thing the two days before surgery! I cleaned the house from top to bottom and stocked up on all the post-surgery supplies I had jotted down. I liked the idea of coming home to my new life with a clean house.

I did the same thing! My surgery is tomorrow and my house us sparkling!

I love cleaning so it made it easy.

I cleared the walkways too, just to make it simple getting to and from the bathroom/kitchen.

      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!
