Thanks, I'll need it. Pain and I are not best friends. I just hope I don't cry like a baby and embarrass myself to death.

Had surgery on the 22nd and the recovery process has been a little challenging. I parent alone and still want to be fully available to my daughter but my energy level is so low right now. I'm so looking forward to feeling "normal" again. Ugh! Frustrated ????

How old is your daughter?

My son is 13 and he was a huge help to me.

Beni, I've cried so much the last week, between pain and emotions gone wild---it may happen friend. But seriously, Don't be embarrassed!! The hospital staff expects it, and hopefully your hubby is a good support system for you. I am beyond thankful for my family. They've let me cry and cry whenever I need to. I had another bout of tears today. 99 % of my pain is from this damn drain and I am just so sick of having to change the dressing, which hurts and having it hang out of me.... wish I were stronger to handle it, but I'm just not. Remind me, will you have a drain?

I'm very impressed you're parenting alone and still healing yourself. I couldn't imagine. My youngest is 8 and she's my little mother hen, she's been a gem. And my 21 yr old daughter was also home from college for 4 days. Such a huge blessing to me!! Even my boys (14 and 17) have been making sure I'm not doing too much and hauling laundry for me, etc. My 14 yr old step son just says, " Amy, I don't mean this sound bad, but you just look awful. Go rest!!" LOL!

Lol, your step son is a gem. Pretty soon he'll be amazed when you're running circles around him.

I cried like a baby 4 days post op. I made it worse on my pain because of the crying. It is totally Okay to cry, we are making life altering decisions and are hoping for a favorable outcome.

@@Jyoyonomore, I appreciate your sympathies, but I actually am doing very well. I just learned early on, Water is not agreeing with me, and switched. Was out tonight at my weekly trivia game, did order Water but added crystal light, again no problem.

I went out yesterday on an outing for about 12 hours, took a cooler with yogurt, with Protein added, and two Protein Shakes. Had Soup with Protein when I got home. it was a good fun day. I walked and walked, had a blast.

Can't wait for Tuesday for pureed foods.

I can't help you since my surgery is next Tuesday but I hear for some people the nausea last a while. Are you allowed to have a nausea patch behind your ear. It's OTC at the drugstore but check with your doctor first.

the scolpamine patch can be pre ordered by your doc as a prescription.

      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!
