Nov 24, 2008 my date



Recommended Posts

:thumbup: I finally got my date and approval. Went to the class that talks about after the surgery. I am day 2 on all Protein drink's. Thank God I am not hungry. My hubby is in the hospital, and I am 28 miles away. Also my Appts, classes, and every thing is in the opposite direction 30 miles away. So today was a very long day. My class and then on to see hubby. I have also gone down 20lbs, since my first visit. Hard to believe. I can be a mindless eater when I am stressed, so it was hard to pass up on the Hamburger's and etc. Well bye for now.

Did they have you do the other diet also. wk 1 I had to do a Protein Drink for Breakfast the 300 calorie tv for lunch and supper. Also the Snacks in between. Then week 2 was Protein drink breakfast and lunch, then a 300 calorie dinner, and my snacks, except at night I had to do 1/2 protein drink for snack. So of course wk 3 and wk 4 is the protein drink for all of it. I have lost 20lbs so far. I want the ticker on my thing also.

Well i finally got banded on the 24th. So far so good. The only thing I hate is grinding up my pills, they taste so awful, bitter, but necessary. My husband of 47 years passed away on Nov. 21, 2008, and he made me promise not to delay the date whether he was in the hospital or not. As you can see I did honor his wishes.

Louise, I am tremendously sorry for your loss. You are very courageous and I am sure your husband is so happy you honored his wish. May life cradle you gently through this difficult time and may you find moments of peace.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Tomorrow i get to start on mushy foods. So far I have not been hungry, but yesterday, my stomach was growling and growling, but I still did not feel hungry, so i guess it was just air passing around in there. My first Dr. appt is on Dec 4. I am quite anxious to go and get it done. Anxious to see if my scales are right.

Well chat later,

God bless you all.

This is one of the bravest things I have ever heard of.

      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!
