My surgery is this Wens. and I've been on a liquid diet for a week now. I know I have to do this but I'm starting to have doubts. I really really miss eating! It's probably just nerves but I hate second guessing myself. :(

You will be fine. After surgery, and once you are back on regular food, you will be happily eating; but if like me, you will have to remind yourself to eat because you won't be hungry all the time any more.

There are absolutely times when I miss eating, especially at first. When I couldn't eat more than 4 (veggie) chicken nuggets, or just a couple bites of anything. Boy do I miss those days :P

It gets easier. Now I see people eating half a pizza or something and get a little nauseas just thinking "I used to eat like that?!"

And a liquid diet will make anyone miss food!

You'll be fine :)

Not being hungry might make it easier. Right now I AM hungry and it's so hard when hubby warms his dinner. The smell of food makes me want it but I want to be thin even more so I have not cheated once!

Thanks for the encouragement ladies! :)

The 3rd-4th week I was pretty unhappy....I wanted food......but the fifth week I was eating food......and a happy camper....but it is hard at the early stages, because it's just difficult to eat much as your stomach is still swollen and recovering..not being hungry is a nice change.....

My fiancé volunteered to go on the liquid diet with me. I was sooooo grateful for that :)

That's so sweet...nice to have a supportive partner.....before the liquid diet, I froze some meals and told hubby he's on his own while I was on liquids

      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!
