August 31 Surgery Date!



Recommended Posts

Im excited and nervous about my surgery date. Just 3 more days to my DreamLife! Im on this pre-op diet and It is the worst!... I cheated one time, I ate mashed potatoes... But I got back on track. Now it's smooth sailing.

I can't wait to eat something other than applesauce and broth. But thank GOD I've lost 9lbs already, and I know that Im going to loose more. I think Im making the right decision, and I am so excited to be HEALTHY, and smaller... LOL. Now it's just time to:

1. get the house cleaned,

2. pack up my stuff,

3. pack up my daughters stuff,

4. cooks some meals for my daughter and freeze them,

5. clean out the car,

6. pay my bills,

7. oh... and order my Liquid Protein.

WOW what a list. (am I forgetting anything?!?)

Did I mention Im excited?

LOL

If I could get my fat butt up, I'd be doing back flips. LOL

Woohoo! I am excited with you :D

You may want to go easy on 7. Your tastes may well change after surgery.

I myself can't tolerate artificial sweeteners now. No problem before surgery.

I had to get Protein from non fat milk during my post-op liquid stage I hated the carbs, but it was my best option.

Your journey will be unique, but you have hundreds of travel guides here to rely on.

I'm getting sleeved on 8/31 also! We have a similar list of to-dos except my children are older and they can get their own food. :) Also on my list are taking measurements and photos.

I've lost 16 pounds on my pre-op diet and I'm so full of energy - I can't weight (haha!) to see how much more energy I'm going to have when I lose more.

      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!
