Hi everyone I'm knew to this group. Right now I'm tentatively have my date for Aug 8th. I'm getting excited and a little nervous. I've been trying to practice my chewing 22 bites. Only sipping my Water. I've had no caffee for 2 weeks. My husband has been great and has gone to all my meetings with me. I do want to belong to this group for support especially when struggling. I know the 2 weeks before will be hard. Please and me to this group for support.

Welcome! I just got sleeved on the 7th of June. These boards are wonderful and the people are amazing, supportive, informative and helpful!

I gave up caffeine before also and soda...(didn't completely give up alcohol...). It is great you are getting in good habit now. A great one to start is to carry a water bottle and get to where you wouldn't leave it at home....I tried to make mine like my cell phone...don't be far from it.

After surgery you will find it is the times you wouldn't think of to sip,sip,sip that helps you get it in...(in the car, line for groceries, waiting for kids...ect).

Good luck! This is a great gift to yourself!!!

Welcome! I look forward to seeing your progress.

I was excited and nervous too before my surgery, but like most people - it's one of the very best decisions I have ever made. I am happy with the results.

      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!
