Ahh TeeNahh I'm so sorry to hear that. In the hospital I had BMs that were interesting but I was told it was because of the barium I had to swallow for the cat scan. Either way I wouldn't call them BMs so much as dark mud. Sorry, it's gross.

Anyway, I am sooooo tired all of the time. I live near the wineries in SoCal and went to a Live Music session today from 12-2 just to get some air and I was EXHAUSTED.

I also have sharp pain on my right side that comes and goes but it takes my breath away.

I'm sleeping better but LOTS of naps during the day. I barely last two hours before I'm down for the count.

I'm sick of liquid diet but know the importance.

I can't believe you felt good enough to go out ! But that's great you did, my sister had a baby on Thursday ( same hospital while i was there ) and I still don't feel good, long enough to make it to her house! Did you doctor tell you about a stitch ? Mine is on the left and that's where most of the uncomfortableness is coming from. I feel like crap. I can't get comfy and my stomach won't stop rumbling. I'm over it, I don't know how some people are just good to go within days, I envy those people !

Also do you have cravings for anything ? Because I literally crave nothing and everything I've ate makes me cringe thinking about it afterwards.

I was going stir crazy and couldn't function at home for another minute. I just want to eat! But honestly I'm glad I did because I needed fresh air.

I will have to ask my dr about the stitch.

I was going to the bathroom every hour in the hospital. Maybe try just going back to liquids for a day.

I know we hear "it's the best choice I have ever made" but I'm still waiting for that moment. I'm hopeful but the pain, lack of sleep, and liquids suck! Honestly SF stuff gives me an upset tummy too so that limits things. I'm sure in 3 months we will look back and laugh at what we went through. (We BETTER!, lol)

At first I wanted candy. I wanted skittles and chocolate and popcorn. But now I just want normal healthy foods. Soup is on my last nerve! I have several different flavored but usually can't stomach them twice. I am sipping on 1/2 grape juice 1/2 Water and in heaven. I'm just looking forward to chicken, or hummus, or healthy crackers, or even Protein Bars. I can do low sugar / low carb I just want to start it already. Even at the winery today I was totally content not drinking. I would smell my hubby's and was fine! But they have this bread bowl with Brie baked inside and it was calling my name. But I smelled it and I was good!

Lol the food struggle is real ! Glad you kept it together! I had my first craving today and I'm actually happy that I finally feel somewhat like myself again. I haven't been able to remember what any food I like tastes like and believe or not it made me sad. I'm feeling better for the most part but sometimes I get so nauseous. Still waiting for my "glad I did this" moment lol

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
