I'm too cranky to figure it out!

I so get that!! I just poured a cup of Decaf tea! Try it! It's very soothing!

The lack of real food is getting to me, even though, having been sick, I'm not terribly hungry. @@cjd2010 I hear ya! I've been laying awake in bed the last two nights kinda freaking out about everything, questioning it all. It's strange, because I've wanted this for so long!

October 13th here.

Trying to keep moving and not dwell on it.



Acquiring all the supplements, Protein, New Balance slip-on sneakers and such.

Ordered a couple memory foam body pillows.

Bought a new recliner two weeks ago. Planning on sleeping in it the first few days. Gonna be sore from a massive abdominal hernia & hiatal hernia he'll be repairing when he does the sleeve. The recliner is made for big & tall guys and is much easier to stand up from.

I want to be moving around as much as possible....constantly sipping on Water will ensure this. I didn't want to be getting in and out of bed so much like I did with the last two abdominal hernia repairs. They were both open type procedures. Hoping that this time things will go easier due to laparoscopic method.

@@Mega_100 I know, it's terrible. Scary feelings.

Well, I got a little more excited when I got on the scale and saw I had lost 5 lbs in 2 days!

@@Reckless Moxie, I took a One A Day Multivitamin with Energy (B12) and legit didn't need coffee today--maybe that could help you. Three and a half hours later and I'm still good!

Hi all...my date is on October 15...I'm super excited to start this adventure. I also would like to join the Facebook group, I think we all need to support each other. I don't personally know anyone that has had this procedure, so going thru this with others is really helping!

I am on the 15th also. On my 3rd day of liquid diet. Today has been better. Not hungry, but I do want to eat solid food more out of habit, but at least I am not hungry. Have woke up with headaches past 2 mornings. I immediately grab a bottle of Water and Protein Drink and that sees to help.

      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!
