Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking on these forums for a couple of months, this is my first post. My surgery is scheduled for August 22. I started the pre-op diet today - so far, so good! I am super excited about getting the surgery done and I'm looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me. Best of luck to all!

I'm also getting mine on August 22nd. They said they only needed me on a 3 day pre-op diet but, after reading so much on the benefits of going longer, I decided to start mine yesterday. So, of course, I've lost nothing so far! HA!

Anyway, I'm way over amped for this but, trying to play it cool.

But, I can't! I'm so excited! I have made the changes to diet and exercise, now I just need my body to follow suit!

My doctor gave me the food to eat on the pre-op diet. It's things like shakes and Soups that you mix with Water. It hasn't been too bad! I've cheated a little bit a couple of times but still down 8 lbs. My goal is to be down 12 by my surgery date.

      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!
