Try sipping 3 oz of your shake, wait and hour and then sip three more all day. In between sip hydrating liquids. Are you allowed any solid foods on your pre-op?

It sucks! There is no other way to say it but it comes and goes. I hit the wall at day 2. I cried to my husband that I was not strong enough to do it. That was 3 years ago already and it was worth the 2 weeks of hell for what I have now. It is a distance memory. Stay strong. I promise you it is worth it!

So I made it to day 9 of pre op diet. I still am pretty hungry most of the time and feel bad mostly in the afternoons after I have been moving arround alot. Is this how I will feel with the lap band??? Because although it has gotten a little better since day 3 it still is awful. I am a fulltime grad student and there is no way I would be able to even think straight when I am back in school if this is how life will be forever. Any feedback and comments is appreciated.

      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.

      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!
