And for some reason I still feel as though it's not going to happen. I'm excited! My doctor didn't tell me to go on a liquid diet for these past two weeks and I've notice a bunch of people that say how it was necessary. I'm hoping this wont interfere with tomorrow. I was just told to eat light. Ah well yeah. I'm just excited and wanted to share. Hope all is well with everyone!

Good luck. My surgery was last Wednesday. You will do great. And don't worry my docs at Yale said there is no need for a liquid diet 2 weeks before. Losing any weight is always helpful because it makes the liver smaller. Less complications.

You will do great. Use the pain meds if needed. And walk when u can

Congrats on the surgery! And thank you. I was very curious about the whole pre-op liquid diet thing. Anyway how are you feeling since the surgery? I'm hoping to be able to move around by Friday. Is there any hope for me? Haha

Good luck with your surgery! I'm scheduled for 4/12 and have no idea what I'm doing. My doc asked my hubby and I to go on the South Beach diet, phase 1 (which means no carbs).

My surgeon only had me do all liquids the day before surgery. Everything was fine. I had a little bit of nausea the day of surgery but that's to be expected for most. Love love love my decision! Congratulations and get ready for a new and amazing life!

Hey guys! Thanks for the replies and encouragement! I had my operation at 10am and I'm now here in the recovery room watching the office on my phone. Haha I'm so bored and I've slept enough that I'm worried I won't be able to fall back asleep later. The only thing I have to complain about is how sore my stomach and back are. I want to get up and walk around but I'm not allowed to till later. Can't wait to go home to have some chicken broth. I'm actually craving some :)

      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!
