Mine is all liquid but I can have a couple servings of fruit and non starchy vegetables a day. It's going to be so hard, but I am ready to get started.

I'm in Westchester ny. Not too far. I wasn't given a liquid diet or Vitamin regime pre op - other than Multivitamin and Vitamin D. Have preop appt w surgeon at start of May. Not sure if I'll hear something different then.

I have gained weight since my initial appt. I'm nervous but mostly it seems surreal.

How are you?

I'm may 6th. My team meeting is apr 17 do I guess I'll find out then what the pre-op diet will be. For now I am pretty good during the week - Protein Shake for dinner, healthy choice Soup for lunch, then normal dinner. I tend to fall off the wagon on the weekend though. Beer and wings on Saturday was not part of the plan! I've lost 13 or so in the last few months.

Hi !! Same here- I go from nervous to excited every five minutes or so. I was only told to follow a liquid diet 24 hours prior to surgery (nothing after 11pm) but that is it ...I am going to quit coffee right after my band removal and then try to stick to a liquid diet at least for a few days before the sleeve.

My surgery is scheduled for May 23rd, and I. Am both super excited and really nervous. From reading all the posts here, I know this is normal but so many emotions. This may be the hardest part.

I am having my sleeve surgery done on May 1st! I think it would be very helpful and reassuring to talk with others getting their surgery done in May.

      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!
