I feel ya! I am planning on going February 17 to dr Garcia. I'm so excited!

It's aprox 2 months still, and I've been planning this since October. That's really flown, and I can barely believe another Christmas has passed, so I have faith that this can fly too!!

Is anybody stocking anything special for their surgerys yet? I have unjury' date=' Syntrax, Jello, better than bullion, B12 and liquid vites ready to go.[/quote']

Good question! This probably deserves it's own thread! I feel so unprepared because I'm still just ordering samples so far. (I think I'll start a new thread to talk about this if you don't mind)

Sure. There are alot of older threads about post surgery preparations. Of course, much depends on your docs program. Ill be coming home on liquids, my mom came home with a green flag. Anything she could handle. Here are my preps so far:

Syntrax samples(protein)

Unjury chicken Protein

Matrix and Oh yeah and Musclemilk light(meal replacements)

Syntrax unflavoured

Anywhey unflavored

Better than bullion (chicken)

Vegetable broth

Digital food scales

blender

Torrani SF Syrup

Miralax

Liquid vite, B12 sublingual, liquid Calcium and D3.

GasX

I froze some homemade broths and chili when I had leftovers.

It sounds like alot, but I haven't stocked heavy in these things. Just to get me started that first couple weeks. Hard to know what u will tolerate after surgery so no point in wasting too much $.

      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!
