What a day to start the begining of this journey this new life for me. The birthday of this great nation. I hope that it is a sign of good things to come.

I know that this is going to be probably one of the hardest things that I will do, but I know that I have to do this. Today I start my liquid diet for 2 weeks.

I have read so many of the posts, and you all are very encouraging. I wish each and every one of you a great 4th of July!!!

You'll do great! For me the hardest part was days 3 through 5 of the pre-op diet - that's when I had the cravings. Today is day 6 - but no cravings today. Others have said it gets easier too, and I have to admit, it is easier today.

Good luck with your surgery.

Good luck on your pre-op diet. By day 5 or 6 I was pretty use to it and I looked forward to my shakes (weird huh?) The time will fly :) You will do great.

Congratulatons to you both Kelly and Nancy!!! You can totally do this!! It does get easier. Just the first couple of days the body seems to wonder what's going on LOL. Don't forget lots of fluids, SF popsicles, SF Jello (of course, if you are allowed, most people are). They really help get through those moments of craving... it's weird but after a while they pass. Good luck to you both!!! You totally got this!!! Happy 4th!

      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!
