I am having a hard day today. This is day two of my liquid diet. I am having withdraws really bad. My head is read to explode. My primary doctor said the withdraws will go away in the next few days. Please tell me this is true. I goto school on Tuesdays and I needs something to hold me over. I am trying Decaf iced coffee who would have thought that would taste so good. Can any one give me advice on how to strained Cereal? It is on my diet sheet and I was just wondering. Enough of me rambling, thank goodness for this forum for support.:rolleyes:

It really does go away in a few days- I went cold turkey on Sunday and thought I was going to die yesterday but I am fine today- (And I used to down at least - at least 3 Route 44's from Sonic a day in Diet coke) so- all I have had is water- and Protein shakes- and today I am very surprised that I havn't had the head explosion feeling from yesterday.

I too was addicted to the caffine from Diet Coke. My hubby talked to a pharmacist and he said that NoDoz has the same amount of caffine as Diet Coke. I now take one NoDoz every a.m. along with my Vitamins. I have not had any problem not drinking the Diet Coke. As a side effect I have not had the swelling in my feet or legs and I feel like I have much more energy. It really does do the trick.

I quit drinking coffee 2 weeks ago and am drinking 1 diet mountain dew in the morning. I start preop diet May 9 and knew it would be hard enough that I didn't want to go thru caffeine withdrawl along with it. I hope to be totally caffeine free by the 9th so I can concentrate on the wonderful liquids. lol

Just remember why we are suffering thru the preop phase..it's all part of the process of eventually feeling and looking better. :)

Now someone needs to remember to remind me of my own words in a few weeks when I'm having a hard time with the liquid diet. lol

      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!
