I'm going for the sleeve next Tuesday and started the pre-op diet today. I feel terrible, I've had a headache and have been anxious all day. I guess I never realized how addicted to food I am/was.

Lol good luck. I have been trying to sub one meal with a Protein Shake a day. I had a hard time finding one I like. When I finally did I found out because of the Vitamins in it I can't use it this week bc the Vitamin e will thin my blood so I wound up ordering Unjury which is my 2nd favorite. Unfortunately until it comes I'm stuck with this other one which I pretty much hate lol. I did find putting some cinnamon helped me to be able to choke it down lol.

What??? Vit E??? I hadn't heard I should worry about it thinning my blood? Is this because of

medication you take, or in general for pre-surgery peeps like me?

      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!
