My doctor did not put me on a pre opt diet. They told me to eat what I wanted and have that glass of wine if I want. Hmmmmmm.....

Did you lose more weight than they wanted you to before your surgery?

Well they didn't tell me I needed to lose. Prior to my first visit I had just ended a round of HCG so I had just lost like 15lbs. I also knew that I would gain a few pounds after that diet. But I gained a few and lost a few in the past three weeks. I have started exercising and "clean eating". My pre op appt is on Monday so we shall see.

I am excited about the possibilities. I have a friend who lost 177 lbs in one year. She's the size I want to be that is what I am excited about now. I hope the rest will come as time goes on.

Yes you will. I was never worried because there was so much pre surgery testing I felt confident that everything would go well. I am one week post op as of tomorrow everything is going great. You will be fine.

      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!
