I am Sept 23 as well! Had my last pre op appt today. When the nurse weighed me she said "this is the last time you will weigh this much". Wow' date=' I can hardly imagine.

I start 2 week liquids on Monday - I get 3 oz of Lean Protein twice in the two weeks and all the non starchy veg I want. I am going to make a pot of WW 0 point veg Soup and eat that in addition to my Protein Shakes. It tastes really good and is filling.[/quote']

My diet starts on the 18th. But I'm thinking of maybe starting on the 16th. I can have one Protein Shake a day if it gets really bad. I've never heard of the WW 0 point soup. I'll google it :) I need recipes!

The pre-op diet? It's not bad but I'm on it for 2 weeks.. it's only day 2 and I'm trying to find ways to have vegetables Lol.. I'm used to some rice or noodles or shrimp in there! I guess I just have to get used to it... After surgery will be worse

Thanks for the support, I guess the reason I feel like I am second guessing myself I will only have 10 day off from work. Then work two weeks and fly out to Las Vega for my daughters wedding. From what I have read and heard, you are not able to eat much at all I have not told anyone about me getting surgery. I don't want others to know what I am doing. My doctor told said "what are you going to tell your co-worker and family when they notice your weight lost"?

When I had my lapband and lost 80 lbs, I didnt tell most co-workers and many family members for the first 7-8 months, then I didnt care!!

      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!
