My rny is August 15th. My information says I only have to do liquid diet 3 days prior. I cannot take motrin or naproxen from here on out (30 days prior to surgery). I always wonder why some drs do a long liquid diet than others. I should know more at my nutrition class on the 31st.

Lucky you! Maybe the length of the diet depends on initial weight? I don't know, but I know I'd be happier with 3 days instead 2 weeks :)

Hahaha. I did the same. I warned all my friends at work to not take it personally if I'm a little snappy.

I don't have to do the pre-op diet, but I did have to lose at least 14lbs before they would submit me to insurance.

      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!
