Hey everyone! I have been snooping on the forum for a while, but have never posted. My date is set for March 19th as well. I start the preop diet tomorrow. I'm excited & nervous. I don't have much support for this decision, so that is scary. Good luck everyone!

I'll support you and so will everyone else on this forum. My surgery is March 19th too... I an anxious terrified and excited.

I only have to do 1 wk of pre op dieting, starting 3/12. Surgery is the 19th & my pre op diet is all liquids. My Dr prescribed 6 packets of no sugar added Carnation Instant Breakfast with 8 oz skim or 1% milk, plus fat free broths, sugar free Jello, Water with sugar free add ins (i.e. crystal light). Post surgery, Im stocked with Unjury whey Protein Powder - chocolate, vanilla, chicken broth, & cheese sauce. It's the best tasting Protein powder Ive ever tasted!! Gettin SOOOOO excited!!!

Had preop visit today at Drs. office and hospital. I really wasn't nervous like I thought I would be. My surgery is this Thursday, March 14. Hope I'm as calm as I was today. Start my clear fluids in the morning, for two days. Can't believe it's finally happening. Keep me in your prayers.

I'm going in tomorrow! They first called to tell me to be there at 10 am then they called to ask if I wouldn't mind rescheduling for Wednesday. I said heck no! I had already taken the magnesium citrate! Then they call to say to be there at 7:50 am. Not happy about all the calling especially on the day before surgery. Find it very unprofessional. Just praying the surgeon does her thing and doesn't mess up. Nonetheless, excited despite the bumps on this journey :)

This sort of thing always gets to me. I totally agree it is unprofessional and creates unnecessary doubt.

Good luck tomorrow! Please let us know how things went as soon as you are able????

      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!
