Two weeks before surgery! Today is the first day of my protein/liquid diet that's required before surgery. I'm drinking an Opti-fast chocolate Protein shake' date=' and it's soooo NOT yummy!!! Its amazing how everyone seems to have different prerequisites prior to the same surgery... makes me wonder if my two week clear liquid diet prior to surgery is absolutely necessary, lol, because I sure could do without it, lol.

Ive tried the other shakes and while chocolates not that tasty, it still beats the others. Just my opnion.

Just got a follow-up call from the surgery center to see how yesterday was. Then they told me the time of my surgery for Friday changed from 10am to 7am. Wow, think I just had my first feeling of anxiousness about the surgery.

Hello! I like About Time for Protein Shake, good taste, dissolves well in Water. Has more isolate Protein than Unjury and costs a lot less too. Online or through eBay is where I purchase mine. Did lots of research before my surgery last Friday. Now if I can just stop all the annoying burping....Ha!

So I'm having the ultimate fight with my brain. Body: I'm full, comfortable and doing good, brain: stupid you only have two more days left, go have a steak dinner or something. Me: would you both shut the hell up!!!!!! Lawdy me!!!!

And I was glad because you can't eat nothing from the night before at midnight so going in at 7 was a blessing.

      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!
