Well tomorrow is my day 6:30am- finally! Seems like it's taken forever to get here!

2 week liquid diet started off rough but I made it-only lost 5.5 lbs for some reason. But I'd love a big fat juicy steak...

I did cheat one day and had an extra piece of salmon last week but oh well! I'm so ready for this to happen.

I'm gonna need a ambien tonight for sure!!

Thanks for all the kind words! Everything has been a breeze-well except the barium you have to drink with the GI to check for leaks.

Doc came in to tell me everything looked great and id be going home this afternoon. I did ask him if he really did the sleeve because I felt so well. He chuckled and said yes.

That is so great to hear! Glad you're doing well. I'm 5 days from now, I so needed to hear a positive post-op experience!

      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!
