So far no cramping or pain today. The incisions still hurt a bit of course but my abdominal muscles don't hurt as much as they did after previous surgeries. The only thing that hurts less, lol.

I'M glad I'm on sick leave for some more days though.

Eating liquid doesn't really warrant the label of "eating". It already gets on my nerves big time. Maybe I should start a ticker until March 18th when I'll be allowed to have real food again, lol.

😂😫🤤

Today the staples were removed from the incisions. Wounds are looking fine. About 3 kg less now on the scales now than the day before surgery, btw.

Dammit, I want to eat roasted red beets now. Even these awful McD burgers looked fine today, lol.

How large/where is your incision?

Can you have Soup yet?

After my revision I dropped more than 10lbs so quickly I looked terrible & I began to have loose skin in my face /neck 😖

I have the usual 5 incisions across the upper abdomen. Nothing big and scary.

I eat Soup and thin pudding and yoghurt and the like. Luckily only 3 weeks of liquids this time instead of 4 weeks.

Oh! When you mentioned staples I thought large incision.

Hoping it goes quickly 😌

There was a little bit of pain when these little suckers were removed but nothing serious. Wounds looked good all the time.

On a side note, at least the weather is good for a nice Protein hot cocoa.

Meh, unfortunately inner upper thighs are stubborn as hell.

How long were you on liquids/soup after your revision? I find it way harder to recover this time. Ok ok, I'm almost 4 years older now but anyway. I also have to battle way more cravings.

      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!
