Won't be able to sleep tonight knowing in just ~9 hours, I'll be going through the first steps of a lifestyle change!! After a year's worth of work, it's an off feeling it's finally drawing to an end.

If it wasn't already obvious to me that I'm stressing with nerves, among other things, I've been having dreams that my teeth are falling out!!

I'm actually very disappointed in myself for the way I've handled my liquid diet for the past 3 weeks that I was recommended to do. Though, I'll say I've drank more than I've eaten, I've cheated more than I can I count on my hands (eggs, Soups with veggies in it, thanksgiving dinner...and leftovers,etc.). I do so knowing life won't be the same after. food has also been a huge comfort for me; college finals, job interview, managing home finances and other mommy/wife duties has proven to be almost too much! I've had numerous surgeries in the past near this weight laparoscopically in the past without fasting or dieting beforehand, so I'm praying hard tonight that I won't be hating myself tomorrow, but only the expected discomfort after the surgery!

I've watched 2 family members have great success with their sleeves throughout this year and can't wait to share in the experience.

Stopping all liquids at 10, then cleaning house and packing for overnight to keep myself busy!! Wish me luck!

Good luck side note I dreamed my teeth were falling out too

I looked up what teeth falling out in dream meant, the result was anxiety, a significant change, a time of transition, and/or knowing you said something you didn't mean to.

Interesting, huh?!

Surgery was perfect! Feeling sore only where the drain is. Get extremely nauseas after I chew ice or morphine. The awesome nurses are giving medicine to help ease the discomfort.

Just walked the halls???? Tired now.

Hard to believe this day has come and almost gone! The pain I am feeling now is only temporary!

Because of the anesthetics, I'm a cry baby too! ????????

      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!
