You did not go through everything you have to weaken now. You're stronger than this pre-op diet. I've read your journey as you posted. You got this.

Thank you! It's the feeling weak and headaches I can't take

its good to vent here, we all understand! I didn't think I could do it, but I did. And in my life there have been very little food related victories ;) Think about how much safer you will be in surgery if you follow the diet. Cheating could endanger your life.

Stay on your pre op diet we don't want any member to lose course on this. Just think how grateful you'll be once you step through the different food stages. You can and will stay strong. You have all our support you are not alone with this.

I feel your pain Shaylove. Today was a very bad day for me. I'm now 4 days post-op and I wanna strangle someone for a little bit of real food.< /p>

My family had a cook out tonight! Steak, chicken, sausage... Etc... And then there was me with a Protein Shake. I was mad on the inside! Plus I don't FEEL any different. I can easily drink a coffee mug full of broth. I'm terrified that when I get on reg foods that ill be able to eat just as much as I could before. I have not yet experienced "full".

Ahh man that had to be like torture!!! Good job not giving in tho!! I have the same thought about not really feeling full and still eating as much as I used to. Just gotta hope the surgery does what it's supposed to to limit the food intake.

Once you get on real foods you will def feel that full feeling. I ate 3 shrimp tonight and was stuffed!

I hope so! I did put a piece of steak in my mouth and sucked the juice out and spit the meat out.... It was sooooooo good!

: ) it's just hard for me to watch my husband having to do EVERYTHING when I feel like I can do something but clearly all I can do right now is get my walking in. Anything more wears me out really bad.

      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!
