So I am approaching my last 6 month follow up with my insurance. We have to complete a 6 month follow up with a nutritionist and than we have the surgery. Now I have to lose about 10 lbs before March 11th. I'm nervous because I am really struggling with these last pounds, it seems like no matter what I do it can't come off. I'm telling u, I work out drink Water watch what I eat, but i am at a steady weight this is so frustrating, honestly I'm contemplating on starving myself or doing the lemonade challenge, I'm running out of time and if i don't lose this weight it's a strong possibility that i can't get it, until i lose the weight. Ughhh since October i have been following the orders and getting things done, he wouldn't bring me this far to leave me.

Just gently suggesting to go as low carb as you can.......no junk.......hydrate...try to time it so you have a good hearty BM before your appointment (might be worth close to a pound on its own!)

Drastic times equals drastic measures, liquid only almost guaranteed to work.

Protein Shake, broths will help. Also will help you get prepared for the first phase of the prep.

      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.

      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!
