Last visit with the nutritionist yesterday. I start my 10 day liquid diet on Saturday. Somebody was talking about lasts a couple pages back. The only thing I really wanted for sure was steak, and I got that last weekend. Now I'm just trying to get all the food out of the house that I know I won't be able to eat for a long while, lol!

Is anyone else know they are getting their gallbladder taken out at the same time as surgery? I've been wondering about the gallbladder, and whether taking it out would help with potential acid reflux after...

I was thinking the same thing. I am tempted to emailing my dr. to ask him if he will remove it.

I was told that gallbladder would be removed only if it was known issue with it. otherwise not.

It does make sense. I didn't email him. I figured that he would've told me if it was going to do it.

Scheduled for Sept 6th! Tentative because my husband is a cancer patient...I have to be strong to help him with whatever comes from his recent tests.

Starting the liquid diet on Monday anyways, just to make sure I can have the surgery if all works out!

      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!
