I lost 18.4 but my preop liquid diet was 2 weeks. Yesterday I finally told my coworkers what I was doing tomorrow. Today when I left I got nothing but hugs, love, and prayers...

Monie, Breezy, and Momwith3 - I am also having surgery this week: on Weds. I was very nervous all last week. Now I just want to get on with it. Since I am going to MX - my anxiousness is more about wanting to get back home.

Hoping to keep connected with a few who are going through it at the same time; so please update when you can! I will try to do the same :)

Good luck to each of you!

Will keep you up to date. I'll be very curious to here about your experience in Mexico. My sister in Canada is thinking about it.

Yes!!! 2 days until surgery and I dreamed that I ate a donut while waiting for surgery and it caused me to have surgery postponed 3 months. Then I had a dream that they told me I was pregnant at 41 and had 5 minutes to decide... Surgery or baby!

@@Monie717 not only normal, but expected (and for many, will continue post-surgery with hormone dumping). For me, enhancing my emotional regulation skills and ability to sit with moments like you describe has been one of my biggest goals since I used food to cope for so long and knew I had to change that to be successful. Best of luck this weekend, Monday and beyond!

OMG yessss! I'm beginning the emotional regulation now in my pre-op stage. It's tough! I'm a therapist and I feel like I need one at times!

Since being told my tentative date, I haven't been sleeping. I'd take the bad dreams at this point just to get some shut-eye

      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!
