My sleeve surgery is Monday 7/8 (the day after my Bday).... Very nervous. I know this will vastly improve my life, but it's scary! My husband supports me, but I find that if I mention bariatric surgery to others, they freak out. I've resolved to not mention the surgery to anyone else.

the staff told me some people need to shrink their livers before surgery. to make it easier to get to the stomach. hence the 2 week liquid diet. depends on how much you weigh and your liver chemistry blood tests. and of course the doctor.

i just have to do a liquid diet for 24 hours before surgery. everytime i get antsy about it, i think about my friend's H who did a 40 day juice fast! lol

My pre-op diet isn't that bad. I'm allowed one solid meal a day for two weeks. The other two meals are Protein Shakes. Two days before the surgery, though, I have to start a liquid diet.< /p>

      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!
