My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Can't believe this day is finally here. Scared and nervous, but excited at the same time! Didn't have to do a liquid diet at all, except for the day before surgery which is today! So said my last good bye to my favorite dish last night.

Good luck to all the others who are in the same boat as me. Can't wait to start loosing now!

I need to pick up Protein Shakes as well however my dr only has us use it for 2 weeks after surgery and that is only if we can tolerate it. He said its better to stay hydrated the first couple of weeks than to try to tolerate something and get sick. If you want the names of the ones my surgeon suggested let me know :)

svhonda,

I suggest you try Premier Protein sold at Sam's Club. I started my pre-op Protein schedule a few days ago and I actually like them. No problem getting them down. I bought vanilla and chocolate and both are good. Your taste may vary so don't get too much at once.

I use Garden of Life Raw Protein and Raw Meal normally. I have been experimenting with other brands but none of them stack up to the quality or price.

      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!
