Consider me dated...



Recommended Posts

I got my date today: Monday, January 31st!

3 1/2 weeks... what did you all do to pass the days from the time you found out your date and the day it arrived?

I was hoping for something a little sooner, but I'm just glad there's finally a definite date!

:)

I'd say take pics and measurements, but I think you've already done that.

Congratulations on the date!

Get started walking or working out. Build up your muscles if you can before the surgery. Start practicing eating with no drink until 1-2hrs afterward. Stock up your cupboards with broth, Soups, Protein Drinks, etc. Start a list of all the things you hope to do once you've lost enough weight to be healthy and active again. Look only forward.. :) Congrats on your date!!

Jonathan, I'm in the same boat you're in. My date is January 27th. I was hoping for something sooner too. I have done some shopping for the broth and mushy food. I've started my preop diet already. It's difficult for me, because my meal times aren't always the same. I've got a crazy job that calls for all different hours. Before, I know it, I've worked 15 hours with no food, and then I'm starving, eat the whole Frickin' kitchen, shower and go to bed. (the WORST thing I could do, I know) Guess, I need to do some working out too!

Get in the habit of drinking tons of Water, but not w/meals or one hour afterwards. Wear your favorite clothes, before they're forever too big. Yeah!

      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.

        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!
