Recommended Posts

Started my pre-op diet a week ago today and I have been following it for the most part. I have to drink 2 Protein Shakes a day and eat 4 ounces of meat and 1 cup of veggies. I am so hungry after that but I did have my pre-op dr. appt and I went down from 269.8 to 256.4 so I guess I am doing something right lol. My doctor put me on this to shrink my liver but I am so hungry....is anyone else suffering with me lol...anyways on a brighter note my surgery date is 3/25/13 and I am super excited for this life change but super nervous at the same time!!!!!

When I did my pre-op diet I found chicken broth helped me fill up and add to my liquid intake as well. Hang in there. If you can get through this part you can do anything!!! Good luck.

Sorry to be the party pooper, but the hunger comes back. Lol. Something to prep for during the first six months by developing new habits.

      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!
