Any September surgeries out there



Recommended Posts

Four days into the liquid pre-op diet, it's going pretty good! Enjoying an Isopure Protein Drink now so I know if I will like it after surgery. It's pretty good, I know they say your tastes change after surgery but if I know I like it before then I'm not as worried about lack of choice afterwords. Surgery still set for Sept 3rd, anyone else on liquids yet?

Hi,

My surgery is 9-3 too! I'm starting my liquid diet tomorrow. I still need to run out and get some stuff to eat for the week. I'm not looking forward to not eating food all week especially being diabetic. Where do you buy the isopure drink at?

My approval came in today, just submitted last Thursday and doctor's office called at 1:00 PM and said surgery is scheduled for 9/11/13 at 10:00 AM. Start liquid diet 9/2/13. Since I did the liquid diet with the band, won't mind it as remember how great I felt eliminating the carbs, didn't realize how sluggish I felt until I had to do that diet, don't know if was because I'm a diabetic also or if it is just natural. Anyway when I brought it up to the doctor he said it was because I wasn't eating any sugar or carbs. Don't know if I should actually believe that as he is the same doctor who told me he hasn't had a patient who had to have their band removed. I must have been his first in all the years he was doing bands. (I actually switched doctors because of the clinic staff). So surgery 9/11/13 an on to a healthier life.

      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!
