Ohhhh...that's why I feel like crap!



Recommended Posts

So I got all busy this morning and got out of my routine. I left the house without taking my daily meds.:mellow: Considering that 6 of the 9 pills I take everyday are for blood pressure, it's no wonder that I nearly puffed myself to death walking to my car at the end of the workday.

You just wait until the 28th! My band and I are going to kick ass and be able to chuck those damned pills by Valentine's Day. That's my revenge. So there! :)

I took those suckers as soon as I got home 'cause I felt so badly. Well, ok, I didn't take the diuretic since I didn't want to be running the potty relay.

When my blood pressure gets all hinky like that, it makes me soooooo tired. I hit the sheets by 9.

My doc said that I'd only need to break one of my pills in half. Reading one of the other threads I see that folks generally have no trouble swallowing most reasonably sized pills and just cut the huge ones into halves or quarters. I'll be right alongside your dad with the yummy "medication meal"...but me and my band are gonna take care of that...

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
