Glad people seem to be doing ok! I feel so behind since I haven't had surgery yet! :P

I had a bunch of pre-op work done yesterday... I can only imagine how much my bill is going to be after having 10-15 different blood tests, 2 urine tests, 2 chest x-rays, and an abdominal ultrasound. :o But, it's for a good cause!

Mindi how are things going for you? What stage food are you on? I go for 2 week follow up on Tuesday anxious to visit with them. I'm having no issues getting my Protein or Water in from what I read I think I'm pretty lucky.

Patty I'm doing great. I'm on soft foods now. But really I can eat anything as long as it's not hard and I chew really well. Are you on soft foods now? I'm really struggling with getting my Water in. Had one bottle yesterday and barely ate. I didn't feel bad...just didn't want to eat or drink. But that came back to bite me last night when I got really nauseous and dizzy. The more water I drank the better I felt. You keep up the good work though. That will save you. How's everything else going? Are you taking Vitamins yet?

Mindi I am still on liquids till I go on Tuesday to clinic. But liquids include cream Soup, oatmeal, kind of stuff. I'm taking all Vitamins too. I'm looking forward to purée stage hopefully on Wed. Yes be sure you try hard to get your Water in you don't want uti or dehydrated issues. Keep doing good too!!!

Well I pray they let you slide right on through to soft foods. That's what mine did. It's awesome not to have to blend all my food. I'm glad things are going so well for all of us. Abbie will hopefully come to a meeting on Monday. She's almost ready to be sent in to insurance at the end of the month. She's going to need all of us praying for her too. So glad Pam cam through her surgery great. What a great new year we will all have.

Good morning ladies, I am feeling a bit better. The right opening is sore, but that is normal.

I'm glad you both are doing so well

Pam not sure how well you are doing like feeling up to it or not but there is a meeting tomorrow night at 6pm at Sartori hospital. I am going for sure if you need anything please let me know. But don't do anything that's too taxing on you.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
