I can't believe how close we're getting! I feel like I still have so much to do in the next couple of days. I'm due at the hospital at 5:15 on Tuesday for a 7:15 surgery. The liquid diet had been so much easier than I thought - i'm amazed! The first day was the worst and it's been manageable since then. I'm actually down about 14 pounds! Counting the hours till Tuesday...

I cried yesterday on the way home from Sam's Club. I'm sure it's normal as we have so many emotions going through us right now! 2 more days!! Starting my clear diet today! Before you know it we'll be on the "Post side"!

I am also July 1 but I'm having the bypass, not the sleeve. My preop diet is three days of Clear Liquids only. So clear juice, Water, broth, and Jello. It's day two this diet and although I'm very hungry I'm finding it easier than I had anticipated. I'm a little irritable but not "hangry" like I thought I would be. The icing on the cake? Started my period today, too.... I wish I could just sleep until Tuesday!!

Working today, but when I get home tonight I'm packing for the hospital. My husband has to take me in at midnight and my surgery is at 8:30am!!! So excited and a little nervous. I've lost 8.5 lbs on the pre-op diet, but my TOM hit yesterday so I like to think it's really more. :)

I am scheduled for tomorrow, July 1 as well. I am petrified. I am so emotional over the last week. I have done all the prep work including intense therapy and still nervous. I am not even sure what I am most nervous about. Any tips on how to calm down before tomorrow am? I pampered myself all weekend it helped but now it's Monday. On a good note, I am wearing a skirt I haven't worn in months because I lost 10 pounds from my two weeks of the pre-op diet.

To calm myself down, I just remind myself of all the prep work I've done and to trust in the process.

Best of luck to us all!

Thanks :-) I unfortunately probably won't be calm until post surgery when I feel my body is 'ok'. I don't care about what I am giving up at this point because I know the gains far outweigh the bad. I

wish everyone an easy surgery with a quick recovery????????????.

      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!
