:whoo:HAPPY 1 YEAR TO MRS. YODA:whoo:

Today is exactly one year since she got her band...

As Samuel Johnson said "Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings." Mrs. Yada must have self-confidence to spare because her great undertaking has not only changed her life, but mine as well. That is one of the many reasons I love her so. :love:

It is a salem occation today as it is the final day of people food for me :) ! I must start the Pre op diet as of tomorrow.:violin:

I have had pretty much all the foods I like in the last 3 days. I had a lunch at eastside marios, I had fish and chips at a local Joeys, H&D rocky road ice cream, m&ms, and a nice Peanut Butter sandwich. :high5:

Tomorrow I feast on Yogurt and Cottage cheese (bacteria filled milk and it's by-products) for the next ten days!:faint:

This also means that in 10 days I will be turned to the banded side. I may have to change my name to something like "Darth Bandito" :bandit or "Chewawacca" :hungry: or "Luke soothimaker" or how about "Band Solo" :)

Knaw... I'll just stick with Mr. Yoda...

3 more sleeps till the M rs :clap2: is back!!!

Oh my good Gravy!!!

I had my first day of ten, pre-op diet and it is going to be SO hard! :faint:

I litterally had to tell myself every minute or so that I cannot have everything!

And of course everything was much more appealing with the whole forbidden fruit aspect...

But I will persevere with all the will power I can muster...

After all I am not a JEDI master by chance.

Mr. Yoda,

With 9 Y&CC days under my belt, I can tell you that it DOES get easier. What I did was weigh myself everyday and the first couple of days I kep losing 3 lbs a day - so that helps to motivate.

Also, think of the consequences of not doing the diet - the chance that they might delay or cancel your surgery. I know you don't want that.

You can do it!!!

How many more sleeps?

Hey MR Yoda, my operation is at TLBC on May 4th at noon, you are at 2pm...pretty close, I'd say we're in the same boat. Couldn't really be any closer. Yup, i feel you for the pre-op, but i don't find it that bad yet...hopefully by day 3-4 it gets easier.

      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!
