@@mduffield Oh try propel or something with a lil dash of crystal light. It will help you kick start the Water and to be honest I gave up EVERYTHING else for two weeks except for Water so that my body in a sense would crave it and believe it or not it really helped. So now I have a nightly cup of tea and maybe a morning coffee otherwise just water.! You'll do great no worries.

Wednesday I have my endoscope!!! I just started a new job in September, was worried about taking time off for surgery. I just told my boss today that I'm having stomach issues. And will be required to have surgery in January. He was very supportive and I feel much better now that I've told him.

All my blood work has been done. Last weigh in was a breeze. Now just waiting on results and submission to insurance. January 5th is coming and I'm so excited. Praying everything comes back ok. I might... no I'm definitely going to cry once approval happens. Thank you to everyone that is going through this journey and sharing their story. It really helps to have support.

Got passport approval today and it's being overnighted back to me. I sent all the info in on Friday, so that's pretty quick turnaround but super expensive. I suppose that's what I get for not getting my passport years ago. I've been on the phase 1 Atkins no sugar, no carbs and I'm down 5lbs, 4 pounds to go before the 6th. The weightloss is mainly because my mind loves carbs. My body is like what?! Protein? !! Sweet. My mind and I aren't friends right now. Haha.

5wks til surgery and I just cant wait. Completely focused right now on losing weight and I feel great about it. I just started walking again and make sure I get in at least 3 miles a day to stay on track. I went and got a first goal weight outfit and hoping it actually fits before I even go to get my surgery cause I need that type of motivation to stay on track. I'm super grateful for all of you on here and hope we all check in so we can cheer each other on!

      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!
