I don't have any books, but you might want to check on Amazon they sell used books...it's worth a shot.

Have you scheduled a surgery date? Or are you still deciding?

Let me know if the amazon thing works.

Take care,

Danyel

Please don't forget that wonderous source of FREE books - your local public library! If they don't have it in stock they may be able to "inter-library loan" it from another branch or even state.:(

Lol, my library in my tiny town is barely 1 room. It's not really even a library. They don't have them. :smile:

You can also check the prices and availability on half.com and Ebay. I second the recommendation of Jessie Ahroni's book. I am on an email list she supports and she's great. I've learned a lot from her.

      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!
