I can tell you this, it's gotta be a collective effort between you and the team you are working with.. Its a hard struggle!!!! Yes it is!!! But you have to want and need this for you. I struggled hard within MYSELF not with the decision of having my surgery. food was my friend whether I was feeling happy or sad. It didn't give me negative talk or tell me what I was doing or not doing wrong or right. Food was my go to. And I had to realize and still have to realize that I can't let it control me!!! I've developed reading and journaling as a go to when I want food. It helps or try a game on your phone. I push myself daily to think positive!!! It gets BETTER I SWEAR IT DOES!!!!

You have to have control over it!!! I've also been taking 5-htp to help with my emotions and feelings. Ask your doctor about it

So glad to hear this.

Would you be willing to share any of the tips or insights you received from your surgeon or NUT? You obviously don't have to if its too private, but if you are open to the idea, it might help someone else who is struggling.

      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.

        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!
