Recommended Posts

Just left Target' date=' my store does not have gas-ex strips, grrr[/quote']

I got mine at albertsons but I believe Walmart cvs Walgreens have them. One thing I did forget was the biotene for dry mouth. I have read a lot of sleevers say this came in handy. Don't forget that one.

Week 1- clear liquids:protein shake, sf Jello & popsicles, broth, diet b-8 splash

Week 2 & 3 - full liquids: cream soups(no lumps or bumps), drinkable yogurt, plus stuff from week 1

Week 4- add in mashed potates, cream of wheat, grits, oatmeal

This is just what I can remember off the top of my head.

Pack a extension cord for your phone charger also if you have long hair braid it use a rubberband with no metal or you wake up with your hair in a mat in the back of your head.

I'm scheduled for the 25th too!! I have my broth, Protein mixes, Vitamins, and my Soups for the next phase. Still haven't packed anything. I think I am still having a hard time believing it's so close now.

Hello Klperry, I know what you mean about the date being close. Just a while ago it was July for me that's when I received my surgery date. I think everything became real last week when I went in for pre op testing.

      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!
