So excited! This process has gone so fast! I literally visited my weight loss center 2 months ago for the first time, my insurance approved me last week and I'm scheduled for the 1st! I'm very excited and can't wait to see how my life improves!

Although... Having the surgery done on April Fools day is kinda weird! I hope the doctor doesn't have too good of a sense of humor!!

I'm getting sleeved on the 1st too! Do you have to do a preop diet? If so, how long?

I kinda have a pre-op diet. On the Saturday before surgery I have to drink magnesium citrate. Which I guess cleans you out. Then on Easter Sunday I can only have Clear Liquids.

I have to be at the hospital at 6am, then surgery is scheduled at 7:30.

How about you, what is your dr having you do?

I start full liquids today, so that's exciting. I am feeling really well though. I get out and walk every now and then. I can't wait to do strength training though. I don't want any loose skin!!

I cannot do soft/pureed foods until 4/21. I also seemed to be stalling. I am going to try to increase my liquids. I still drink so, so slow. I have lost 14 pounds. What kind of foods are you eating?

I've been eating tuna w/lite mayo, string cheese, egg, (I had a quarter piece of salmon on Sunday), Soups, cottage cheese, milk, Greek yogurt (trying to get use to it, not too fond of it but trying to get my Protein in that way) lol and that's about it for now I wanna try the recipes my nutritionist gave 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!
