Yes.. Agree with Carolina, the new crystal lights are really good. The chicken broth is what fills me up the most, plus it's not sweet, getting tired of everything being sweet! I'm on day 4... Having surgery on the 29th. Funny thing is that last night I was so hungry and frustrated, woke up today, not hungry, no cravings.. Like magic overnight it got so much easier. So hang in there, it gets easier! Good luck, keep us posted!

Tomato Soup and non fruited yogurt saved my life before and after surgery's liquid diet times.

Breakfast...cream of wheat or grits with milk helped me start the day.

I remember those days....hang in there it will pay off. A smaller/shrinking liver means an easier op for the surgeon and you.

You will get to the point when you no longer crave sugar, can't say the same about salt. Would die for a bag of chips; however not an option for me. Good Luck.......................

I usually want to stay in bed and "rest" a little longer, always have a bit if a fog but since pre op diet I am waking up refreshed and ready to get going.... Love this feeling! Glad you are doing well too... Can't believe it's only 1 more day!

I'm the say way bama,I haven't told anyone but my close family. I was so excited when I started the process but now that I got approved and date for surgery I'm second guessing my decision not real sure why, just worried about something going wrong I guess. But I no I have to do something because regular dieting wasn't working and now I'm at my heaviest at 320 and not getting any younger

      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!
