Recommended Posts

Hey Jackie, my name is Dori. I had my sleeve done Dec. 17th 2013 so it's all pretty new to me too, but I can tell you I've lost 50 pounds so far !! YeahY! So don't worry that this won't work ..it will. You look really young in your photo, im 55 and live in SoCal.

Well let me start with this... make sure you get Protein shakes you really like, thats important. I really like the ones that my doctor sells VHP brand. Ther pretty good but you need to mix them so ther not already prepared. Also get lots of "Isopure"...in the bottle. It's not a mix it's a drink and has 40 grams of Protein. I really like it cause you can get your Water and protein at the same time. They taste great, you can order a case of 12 from "the Vitamin Shop" online. You'll find thats its really really hard to drink your 64 oz of Water aday because #1 water will taste soooo grossssss now! and 2# you get so full from the shakes.< /p>

What ever you do DONT EAT ANY food BEFORE 4 WEEKS. You wont feel to great if you do, pain and disscomfort..i know.

Well kido, you hang in.

Dori ;)

Hi, I'm not doing the liquid diet before... I've been dieting since I meet with my surgeon 2 weeks ago... He said I only needed to lose weight before, anyway I can... I'm in England and I've paid hard cash for my operation so I think I get to call the shots a bit more... I've got my pre op appointment Thursday, so maybe they will say I need to start the liquids... I'm in a really good head space at the moment so I'll go along with what I'm told... I'm being careful what I read now on these forums, I don't want to hear the bad stuff... I look forward to following your progress... Are you excited??? X

      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!
