Getting started on things I will need in a few weeks. Trying to get a bunch of different basics since I am not sure how tastes will change. Any suggestions from folks who have done this?

Hi girl we share the same surgery date 11-8 and I'm also looking for things to buy for post op. I was thinking SF Jello SF tapioca crystal light broth purée some bean Soup SF Popsicles Protein smoothies oatmeal or cream of wheat. I see the Nut on Monday to pick up my pre op shakes and I will ask her for some ideas and then post. Good luck and YAY FOR US!

All I can say is my taste buds did change. Things I really liked before the surgery made me nauseated. Don't buy too much because then you have alot left over.

Be careful about things with a strong smell as well. - during first month it would often make me gag.

Hi there girl. Have you started your pre op yet? I started on Tuesday and it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm getting very nervous and excited. Let me know how you are doing

My surgery is on the 7th of November. Start preop on Friday. Tired of waiting. Tired of trying to lose weight. Anxious to start the rest of my life without this gut! *sigh*

Pre op officially starts Wednesday. I am almost ready to just go start now. Can't wait but am dreading the Pre op diet if that makes any sense. I am so looking forward to beginning yet getting more trepidatious. Oh the emotional roller coaster. How are you holding up my fellow Novemberites.?

      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.

        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!
