I'm on day 8 of liquids and 5 days alway from my surgery. Last night I was craving a cheese burger so bad!! Had to remind myself about my surgery and this is for the new me. I didn't have cravings until last night. And of course, today that is all I can think about and i have to keep refocusing myself during the work day.

Any one else on preop liquids and have any suggestions on cravings?

To this day, the only thing I ever really crave is a good burger. I'm post op, but remember pre-op well. You have the right attitude, stay strong.

In 5 days you will be craving liquids and the thought of a burger will make you nauseous. ;)

Hang on, you are almost there!!

I'm three weeks post op and my saving grace while on pre op liquids were the sugar free Popsicles. They reminded me of dessert so any time I started to crave REAL food I'd break one out. Something to actually chew on!

I thought my pre op weeks were harder than the first week of post op...and you are almost done...keep it up!

You are gonna ROCK this!

Hey there sleeve buddy. How are you doing?? Starting to get hunger back now. You? Fighting these last few pounds.

Hope you are well.

I am 11 weeks out. Every day I try and have a homemade slushy. I use the Magic Bullet fill it up w/ ice and put in two squirts of Mio liquid enhancer...the Orange or Lemonade are my Favorites and blend it helps me with my liquids and if I'm bored and hungry I make myself one and it takes the craving away. oh I eat it with a spoon and I take my time with it its like a sugar free snow cone :) Hope it helps and good luck man you are doing great!

      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!
