It's got a ?? I haven't got my band in yet but I've starts changing my eating habits or Atleast trying too. Has anyone tried the liquid diet before u were approved ?? I was thinking of trying it just to see and prepare my self . My biggest fear is that when I get on the full 2 week liquid diet that I will have a hard time. I work a fast paid job and need my strength and energy .

I did the 2 week liquid diet prior to surgery and found it alot easier than I thought it would be. I used a high Protein shake, Premier Protein and it kept me full. I had my worries, but it was ok. The hardest part for me was that I usually eat out with my co workers and had to cut that out for a while. I felt cut off from the world.

I've thought about doing 3 days ever so often just to kind of "reboot", but every time i say I'm going to, I just cant get motiviated. I may try it too.

The first three days are the most difficult so just know that it won't be as hard for a full two or three week a liquid diet -- and also some surgeons don't even have patients do a ore-op at all. I had two weeks and started in early as I was so excited and needed to do something. Also now once in a while I go liquids for a day or two for that reboot -- thanks for the reminder as maybe I'll do that again as well. Good luck as you wait for approval -- thinking of you!

      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.

        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!
