I know it's not forever, but being allowed to drink it would make the two week pre-op liquid diet so much more tolerable!

*yawn*

(Of course it's worth it, but I just needed to vent. Thanks for reading :D )

Totally understand! I was the exact same way! That was always my go-to when I was dieting and it kills my appetite, so I get it.

Before you know it will be over and you will have your coffee back. I was allowed coffee 10 days post-op, but I could barely drink any at that point (I had to get up early, take my antacid granules with Water then wait an hour). It took about a week until I could handle a cup of coffee at a time. Now, on full liquids, I enjoy getting a small cup and sipping on it throughout the morning at work.

Good luck to you! I know it's rough, but you will get through it!

It is tough, but trust me it's way better to do it the way you are doing it then to wait until you have the surgery then all of the sudden be going through caffeine withdraw, carb withdraw, sugar withdraw all at the same time.

I weened myself off coffee. I mostly drink tea but I have one Decaf a day. After surgery I can't have any and I'm ok with that. Not craving caffeine really helps!

      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!
