2 more days until surgery early Monday morning. I am super nervous now. Hoping for a busy weekend to keep my mind occupied.

I'm in the same boat. Surgery is set for Monday at 8:00am.

Hoping not to think too much this weekend. I had work to occupy my mind but now what. I guess clean the house. Lol

Good luck on Your surgery!

I think you'll be surprised at how quickly the time will fly. And once you enter the hospital it's all kind of a haze, sort of like being in a dream state, at least it was for me.

Try and get some rest and concentrate primarily on the end product - a brand new you!

Congrats!

Doing OK today. Just getting my toes done trying to distract myself from everything. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and I'll do great.

Good luck to you all. I couldn't sleep last night. Went to bed at nine, back up at 11 for 2 hours then tried to sleep again. Finally asleep at about 3. My stomach is freaking out with all of this anxiety. Cramping, rumbling and not to mention what is coming out. Sorry, TMI. Cleaned my whole house this morning and my mom will be arriving within the hour. 2 more sleeps!

What are you all eating for you lady meal? NUT told me something easily digestible cause if anything is left in my stomach they won't complete surgery. I don't have any sort of liquid preop to follow. Just low carb.

I slept ok, but woke up early. Did some last minute errands and took a nap. Hopefully tomorrow isn't bad. I have to clean and do laundry. My stomach is acting up too, but I think it's the liquid diet.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one so anxious.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one either! Very soon we will have a whole new set of issues to combat!

I have been on mushy foods today, tomorrow Clear Liquids and a colon cleanse in the evening. Not looking forward to that. Lol.

I had to make dinner for my husband while I had Jello.

I'm so excited for our new chapter!!!

      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!
