You can do this. Mine was 2 weeks and was rough at times, but so worth it. It enabled my liver to shrink, which my dr said helped the surgery go "beautifully". I am so happy!

You all will do great. Believe in yourselves and stick it out!

Thank you! You are so sweet! I am feeling great actually. It still hurts to get up and down, but it is very tolerable. I will say this is much better than i expected. I am thrilled to be banded. :).

I did two weeks liquid diet prior to surgery, however I was unable to do it, on day five I got soo hungry I gave in. I began eating one 12 " grinder from subway a day. I drank liquids all day and then around 6pm I ate a grinder. I did this up until four days before surgery in which I only drank protien shakes for the last four days. The whole idea is to shrink are liver. My doctor told me just to not gain weight and try to loose some because the fat would come off my stomache area first. I lost ten pounds doing it this way and my surgery went fine!! Good luck. I defiantly know how hard it is to liquid fast, trust me I cried the first five days!!

Ooh, where I live there is a place called subway...it's where you buy subs that are fresh..I got a chicken one that was 12 inches each day...loaded with fresh veggies. It really filled me up and satisfied my hunger each day

      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!
