I literally cannot wait. Tomorrow @ 1 is my pre op psych appt! Then next Wednesday is my upper endoscopy and then I am DONE! I stocked up on liquid diet foods today and I plan on starting it one week before surgery, Not required by my doctor but I thought that I would do it to mentally and physically prepare, something I decided since reading post from my peers on here :) But anyways I am so excited and I had to share!!! I have not told anyone besides my mom and my grandma. Anyone else keeping it under wraps??

I bought sugar free Jello, sodium free broths, and my grandma made me some other good broths from scratch. And I've got lots of flavored sugar free drinks and powders. I also have an unflavored Protein Powder i though I would mix into broth or juice or something.

Day 12 of the 14 day liquid pre-op diet. I have to check in at the hospital at 7am Monday for surgery. I'm getting kind of nervous now. It's all becoming real.

I have a bunch of pre surgery requirements that have to be done, different blood work, a upper endoscopy, meet with a psychiatrist and a nutritionist, and some even requite a liquid diet two weeks before surgery, luckily mine does not :) But you have to do all that stuff before they will even schedule you for surgery.

      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!
