I've been pretty bummed with the liquid diet considering that I did it for 3 weeks pre op and have 2 more weeks (4 total) post op. But... Today I got in my car and had to move the seat FORWARD!! I don't think it's moved from all the way back since I got the car. Woohoo.

I love the "little" things that keep us going!

Around here they call that a NSV (non scale victory) but I call it a good day :)

I would say go As but they don't need the help,

And I'm a giants fan :P

I really appreciated this post! I am starting my pre-op liquid diet early because I can't be trusted to eat anymore. (I've been on a food bender with "last meal" syndrome!). When was your surgery?? I want to start looking forward to when I will be "feeling great!" CONGRATULATIONS! I hope it keeps feeling great!

Congratulations on your NSV!!! liquids definitely get old really fast, but keep reminding yourself, they are about safety, not so much weight loss (just an added bene!). Pre-op, to reduce fatty liver to make the surgery safer and post-op to protect your healing staple line from leaks.

Keep up the good work!!!

Surgery was July 22nd. My doctor wanted me on liquids for 2 weeks before but I was a little worried about my liver not shrinking enough so I added an extra week. I was feeling physically pretty good about 3 days post op - shouldn't take you too long!

      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!
