Here I am. In the hospital after having munsrgery yesterday at 1230. I'm not gonna lie. I was so mad that I just want it to punch my husband so hard for convince me this was the best option after try losing weight and 0 results Lol this was painful for me. Is like having contractions (mothers will undertand the pain) For a second I didn't even want to have more kids smh. But here I am feeling better, recovery is going really well. Following Dr. Whipple's instructions.

They make you walk every hour your awake for 5 mins. Yesterday was like climbing Mount Everest but late at night I was doing it faster and without pain. The first 6-8 hours are horrible and I was asking myself if it was worth it. It is worth it after all. This is for our health people; to make us happy and satisfied, to see our kids grow up, leave longer... EAT TO SURVIVE, NOT SURVIVE TO EAT!!

First day, ice chips( small pieces of ice). Second day, clear liquid diet. Sip Water, eat the ices chips very carefully. In my case, I have to wait 30 secs before putting another spoon of ice in my mouth.

*****Dr. Whipple at Memorial Health Hospital in Savannah, GA: the best surgeon in the world. Funny, carismatic, he is just a lovy dobi. He calm my anxiety and my nerves before surgery. I was so anxious and nobody could calm me down but him, not even my hubby (he was eating Taco Bell, Chipotle, Pizzas in front of me ugh I was furious but that's another story.) Returning to Dr. Whipple, he used his carismatic attitud to make sure I was calm and stress out "you are going to be alright, don't worry, I will take care of you." He is just an awesom and amazing surgeon. I recommend him tho. 5 stars, 200%

      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.

      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!
