So you were able to drink the liquid just fine? By itself? I just want to get over this liquid phase. How many days out are you from surgery? How was it overall? I'm starting to freak

I had my sleeve on 9/20. The liquid diet won't be gone anytime soon. At least for me. Tomorrow I am going to start soft and mushy foods. I have been on a liquid diet for about 4weeks. After the sleeve liquids have been enough. Yes I've wanted to taste things but I am too worried to open up anything. You will also need to love your liquids after because you don't ever want to be dehydrated. Water has been my bff. I know its a lot for you but it will get better and some days will be a little blue. But I'm very happy I did it!

      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.

      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!
