Today was pre-op class day~



Recommended Posts

I tell you what, ANYONE who says this is the easy way to lose weight has it all wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong!

I had to get up for this three hour class this morning and drive an hour to get to it. Then, you get into this room with a bunch of people who DO NOT seem like they want to be there. I was a little unnerved. I have a week till my band day and its all so real now. Im signing papers and asking final questions. SHOOT, Next time I see the surg., it will be at the hospital! :thumbup:

I did learn a lil something at the class today though. I have to say, I will miss my straw drinking days.:biggrin: I love drinking with a straw~ And the amount she said we would be able to drink after surgery was well... just mindboggling:blink:. This is definately going to be different. I hope I am doing the right thing with this. I sure would like to see the results from success from it.

Oh, and one more thing I learned about from my nutritionist. Protein Bars. I tried one from atkins... :drool:Yummy yumm yumm. Hey, a girl has to have SOMETHING to replace the candy bars with. At least this will help with the Protein when I go back to solids~ Just have to be careful on which ones to choose. READ THE LABELS

Oh well, hope everyone else is doing good in their pre-surgical days~

Its going to be so worth it! Wait and see. After I had surgery I didnt even want to eat. I sipped offten because my mouth was really dry. I am so happy I did this. I would do it again too. Sorry about the straw..but its not so bad. Wishing you well. Kinda sad that people in that room acted like they didnt want to be there.This is one of the best things I have EVER done for myself!

LOL, yea you would have laughed if you would have seen the doom and gloom that was going on in there~

I was the only one who had anything to say in the group or questions to ask durring the class. I was thinking, this seems a little odd. :thumbup: Oh well.. Its a case of a lot of people with little self motivatin I suppose. I didnt let it stop me though!:lol: Im a such a nerd, BUT Im a happy one at that! :biggrin:

I am glad to get the little tips you offer as well as everyone else through this. I love to hear things and try them for myself. That makes this kinda fun! (Dont be looking for me to say that the end of next week though... Who knows what beast will be released after 24 hours of no food~:thumbup: YIKES!

Ill be letting you all know as we go. Surgery is next Wednesday~

Now, im off to try and find the chewable papaya enzyme tablets I saw on GNC'S website. I hope they have em in the stores.

      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!
