Hi everyone! I'm being banded on May 6 in Dallas. I'm 4 days into the pre-op diet. Not too bad. It's just like most other diets I've been on. For those of you considering powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shakes, I think the unflavored in water+crystal lite tastes the best. I love chocolate and hate the chocolate shakes.

What am I most scared of? Being stuck and getting a stomach virus/throwing up uncontrollably. I don't want to do anything to mess up the band. Too much money riding on this attempt to lose weight.

Great idea to start early. Think I will do the same. May 23 is my band day. Very nervous but soooo ready! My fear is feeling okay after surgery. I pray for a speedy recovery and sad to say a quick return to work. Boy I thought I would never say that. Lol!

Good luck to all the May bands!!

The hardest part has been getting used to the Protein Shakes but that is getting better. I officially start my pre op on May 1st. I have to call though not sure how many carbs are okay for the shakes to have?

      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!
