I'm not going to lie my Protein Shakes are delicious. I'm using Rice Milk because I cannot have regular milk or soy milk. However I have been eating sunflower seeds and tomatoes and cucumbers which are on my things i can eat list, not the seeds. The first few days of the diet were like a nasty divorce. The seperation was the hardest part. My surgery is the day before yours so good luck.

I'm not nervous anymore however I will cry when the anesteiologist comes in. I hope the sunflower seeds dont make my liver fatty. I'm very excited. Did you doctor order special shakes for you? If so what kind are they? I'm on the ones from BetterMd. and they are really very good. The flavors are great.

I'm on the same diet and I was starving too.

I ended up having to email my doctor's office for some kind of alternative and was told that I can have half a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with Tomato and lettuce, but no mayo.

I'm also allowed sugar free juice pops, sugar free Jello any time and half a cup of cottage cheese once a day.

Hope this helps and good luck!

I am allowed 3 shakes a day and a Lean Cuisine type 300 cal for dinner for the first week. (300 cal meal is the key) If I crave crunchy, red bell peppers and celery. After that, it's shakes, sf Jello and popsicles for a week until surgery day. I am using Bariatric Advantage choc and van and it is pretty good.

I was on Clear Liquids only (broth and Protein shakes) for TWO weeks pre op, then "full liquids" (cream Soups, broths and shakes) for two weeks post op. Just remember, it could always be worse.

The liver shrinking diet preop is another one of those things that varies with doctors. I have no idea what you weight, but prior to surgery, I weighed 260 pounds and I carried a lot of that weight in my belly. I had no preop special diet and my surgery went very well.

I'd say do the best you can and don't stress about it.

      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!
