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!

Good luck to both of you!

Day one of "high Protein liquid diet" down - 9 to go.

I've been trying out shakes for a while, to find ones I like, and haven't had a problem with it. Today, all of the sudden, I have the worst gas on the planet. WTH??!!?? Do.not.want.

Thinking of you all!

My surgery is scheduled for September 17th. I am so excited and nervous. Right now it seems that the three weeks will never pass, but I know that in reality, I will be at my surgery day in no time.

I was told Dr. Ponce only asks for 3 days pre-op diet of liquids and yogurt.. I'm noticing there are SO many variations between what different doctors require!! I'm just gonna do what he asked for but have definitely scaled down my daily inhalation of high calorie low nutrient foods LOL for the most part I'm already sticking with high Protein low carb and lots of Water, trying to condition myself to it too :P I'm also trying to sllllllllllllllllow down how fast I eat and then really paying attention to when I don't feel hungry anymore. I've noticed there's a big difference for me between 'feeling full' vs. 'not feeling hungry'.

I can do relate!! I have issues with my band, so what I can even eat is terribly limited-I'm lookin fwd to being able to eat a little something & not 'slime' afterwards!! Our countdown is on girl!! I'm gettin way excited! I hope I pack the right things-I'm a total overpacker-gonna try & keep it minimal....

      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!
