My surgery is also on Jan 5th! I too am quite nervous, but I keep telling myself how worth it this surgery will be when I start seeing results and feeling healthier.

My 3-week pre-op diet got easier every day, but it was VERY hard at first!

We are starting the new year off on the right foot! :)

Woohoo you're my op twin!

Interesting that most of us are on different diet schedules. I know my hospital says 2 weeks for everyone.

Which procedure are you having done?

I'm having RNY! I hope everything goes smoothly.
Thank you! I hope so too! I shall give you the low down (hopefully without any horror stories!) ;)
How are doing?

Finally getting out of the hospital today! I had really horrible nausea and vomiting for the first two days, most likely from the anesthetic. Also some pretty bad pain. I didn't pass gas for the first time until today, so my body still feels like it's full of air. I am feeling better slowly, but the surgery was a lot tougher on me than I expected. I still feel really weak and have trouble walking. :( Hoping this will all be worth it eventually!

I know that's how it's supposed to work, and people keep saying that, but it's so hard to get my head around the idea. I can't even imagine it!

Thanks for the encouragement! This morning really sucks, and I know it will get worse before it gets better, so your kind words really help.

My surgery is the 23rd! I'm about to start the pre-op liquid diet. It sounds brutal. Any suggestions?

Mine is the same day! Luckily I only have to do 3 days, but it definitely is a mind game.

Yes, things have definitely improved! Thanks! How are you?

I'm feeling like myself again. Only some minor pain left here and there. My strength is back, which is great!

Glad to hear you are 'like yourself' again! :)

I am mostly fine. Still the odd annoying bit but fine all in all. Woke with indigestion so had a bit of a yukky day today but it was the first time I've had indigestion. Then tried a scrambled egg for my first 'proper' food post surgery and it made me sick. I will not be trying that again anytime soon!

Apart from that I think I've lost about 30lbs in 2 weeks so I guess all is going to plan :)

Yes! As soon as I hit the POST button I realised that I had not included that.... I think it works out as about 15 pre op and 15 post op. Still feel a bit swollen around my midsection - an odd feeling like being pregnant...

Do you get the same or are you all healed and back to normal?

30 pounds! Wow! Including pre-op diet?

Which op did you have and how are you feeling now? :)

My surgery was January 11th :)

      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?
