You can TOTALLY do this! It's a mind-over-matter thing. Just know that your body is getting the nourisment it needs and everything else doesn't matter. The pre-op diet is the first exercise in will power we get to do.

Good luck!

Oh honey I promise there is a light at the end of the tunnel.I went through this last month.By the fourth day it was easier for me it was so hard the first three.It's so important to do this it shrinks your liver and makes it easier for the surgeon to do his job.I heard a horror story of a person not following drs orders

on liquid diet and the doctor had to cut patient open instead pf doing the surgery laproscoptic

I am on day 5 of my pre-op diet but I drink lots of Water when I feel hungry. Its gets better, trust me and my surgery date is October 16th. Also try eating sugar free Jello and ask your nutritionist if you can have Protein Bars. My diet allows me to have 3 shakes and 2 Protein bars or 5 shakes during the day. Good luck !!!

      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!
