My surgery is April 23rd and I am on day 2 of my liquid diet. I thought about cheating so many times today but managed to stand my ground. I am so hungry!!! I have been peeing like a racehorse all day as well, lol. I was not expecting the irritating headaches either. This is going to be a huge learning curve for this girlie!

I started my diet today. Thankfully it's only a week, but I'm very restricted. I can only have Protein drinks, flavored Water, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles and broth. I'm already starving! I completely feel your pain. I keep wondering how I'm going to make it through the next 6 days.

My preop diet is exactly like yours, today is day 3 for me! Mine is also for a week but I started a day early. BEST OF LUCK on your wls journey!!! We can do it!

The sugar free jell-o puddings are the best!!! They taste delicious! Try the chocolate/vanilla swirl and also chocolate flavor...you wont regret. Ask you nut if you can have it.

I don't know anything about the filter for blood clotting, but I definitely plan on asking. I have found that I really like the Muscle Milk Lite drinks in the chocolate flavor. I have also enjoyed sugar free Jello with sugar free pudding layered on top. The liquid diet is hard but I am now in day 3 and the headaches seem to have let up a little. April 23rd is the big day and I know I have to do the liquid diet for 3 weeks post op so I better get used to it. I know I can do this and can't wait to remove the fat suit I have been wearing! Just have to take it one day at a time. We all can do this!

Thank you! Best of luck to you as well! My days are counting down slowly, but surely. I did cheat a bit last night and had a can of white meat chicken and some hot sauce (weird combo, I know). I did chew it very thoroughly and it was all Protein, so I guess it could have been worse! I've been strong since then though.

You must be super high risk for blood clotting if they are putting in a filter. Have you had blood

Clots before?

My surgery is April 29, and I'm doing the pre-op diet too. Three liquid today plus a lean cuisine at night, which feels pretty doable. One thing I figured out right away though was that I had to get all the tempting stuff out of the house, or out of sight anyway. I put my shake stuff in one covered so I don't have to open the other ones and see all the other food, and refrigerator things for me in one section so I'm telling myself it is off-limits to go looking through the rest of it. Good stuff I can cheat with is never "out of mind" but putting it out of sight makes it just a little bit easier! Good luck everyone.

no i never had any problems with blood clotting , they do it to ever patients becasue they give you blood thinner in the OR afterward some patients have blood clotting so the filter prevents clots from going to your heart i guess it just a precautions

      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!
