Hi im 6 days post-op and i feel like **** today im taking my Multivitamins and drinking plenty of liquids but i dont really know what to eat im feeling very regretful today.

Hi, I an also on my 6 day pre-op. On my 3rd day, I thought I was going to go crazy. Everybody around me was eating, it felt like they were eating all of my favorite fast foods. I literally almost broke down. I started crying saying why did I let myself get like this. I was extra hungry. Then I had a long talk with husband, looked at my grandkids and came back to senses. I'm still struggling a little, but I guess that's normal. You got this. You only have a couple more days left. I have surgery on Thursday. I am very nervous.

Hang in there. You'll be ok. Just keep reminding yourself the reason why you decided to take this journey. The best is yet to come.

You're doing fine! I'm 6 days post op too and totally understand what you're feeling! Get some rest if you're feeling tired, go for a walk if you're feeling anxious, maybe binge watch some vsg youtube videos if you just feel like you can't do anything else.

On top of Water, low cal drink mixes, and Protein Shakes, I've enjoyed sugar free Jello, greek yogurt, and Soups so far! Tomorrow I get to start pureed food and Shelly's Baked Ricotta is high on the list of things I'd like to try. We'll get through this. We had an idea of what we were getting into and we knew that we needed a big change to help get ourselves to where we want to be. Let's work towards that and remember that the unpleasant things we're feeling now are temporary.

      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!
