5 Hours and Counting



Recommended Posts

Well, it is 5:30 am and I could not sleep anymore. My surgery was pushed back an hour to 11. Not a big deal.

I have been saying all along that I was not nervous. Well last night:notagree, the nerves kicked in. I have been second guessing the decision all night. I have been nervous about the pain. Feeling like I am breaking up with my best friend -- food. I would assume this is kinda normal.:omg:

Well now I am refocused and ready to make the changes to live a healthy life. I just keep rminding my self that at my current weight I have sleep apnea, close to being on blood pressure pills, borderline diabetic, always tired. These are the reasons I need to chage my lifestyle. I want to see my 5 beautiful daughters grow up!

I am still nervous, but very determined. A couple weeks of pain is worth a second start.

I do have a horrible headache from not eating:hungry:, so I am sure this is palying into my mind games that have been going on.

Wish me luck!

I wil send a message on Saturday when i get home.:clap2:

RonKat:

I'm sure things will be fine. I think the pain is very manageable. I didn't take anything more than liquid tylenol after the first night.

I'm sure I'll be jealous of you soon because I am guessing by your name that you are a man, and men lose so fast!

Take care, and get moving soon after surgery to get rid of the gas.

      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!
