SAIL INTO SUMMER CHALLENGE



Recommended Posts

Dashofpixiedust8 I'm doing well. I'm struggling when I'm up and walking. I can only tolerate about ten minutes then I need to take a break. I keep thinking each day will be easier to walk but that hasn't been the case. I'm looking forward to being able to move freely again. Pre surgery I swim for an hour three to five days a week.

@alcn1derlndI totally understand. I'm still healing from my panniculectomy. I am still on pain meds and I am soooo looking forward to being able to do my 6 mile walks and driving myself again! I feel so trapped depending on others to get places! :( I'm a month out but it still hurts when I don't take my pain meds. Today is my first day back at work and While I'm happy to be back, I'm definitely hurting. And I have class tonight after work! Then work tomorrow. I am going to be struggling.

It will get better for you though. The laproscopic insicions are much easier and faster to recover from. I have a single 70 cm or over 27 inch incision.

      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!
