UM FREAKING OUT. I'm on Clear Liquids and my surgery is tomorrow. I was so hungry I ended up eating a peanut. Just one. Im so scared that I might have messed something up I've been doing so good all day.

PSA: I wasn't on a pre op diet just one day prior I had to be on clear liquids and i couldn't even do that. So discouraged so close to surgery.

What time's your surgery tomorrow? Your stomach really only takes about 8 hours to empty out so you may be fine.

it at 10. Thanks for your reply. I was really freaking out. I chugged like 3 bottles of Water and it made me nauseous. Nothing to eat or drink after 12 so Ima drink as much as I can until then. This hunger is killing me.

I know exactly how you are feeling! Everyone went through it at some that has had the surgery. You'll be fine, like jane13 said, you just need to stay on track tonight. My advice, get some sleep. It will be hard to sleep in the hospital, at least it was for me, after surgery. Especially when they come in your room every 3-4 hours to check something, blood pressure, sugar levels, dose of pain meds (much needed). Rest now will help for tomorrow :) Good luck and welcome to the journey to becoming healthier!

      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!
