Recommended Posts

I really must revive this thread. It's helping get me in the right frame of mind for this pre-op diet.

Ok, I've just got to put my two cents in this discussion. I WISH I could be on my two week liquid diet right now! I have no surgery date, I'm still jumping through the hoops needed to get insurance to pay for this. I'm stuck at a job I don't like because I have to keep the insurance going till after my surgery - which there is no guarantee that I will get. You people are LUCKY!!!! Two weeks out of an entire lifetime ain't JACK! Give me a chance to suck down all the Meal Replacement drinks! Give me a chance to be two weeks from my surgery! I will do everything I can to shrink my liver down to the size of a postage stamp if that is what I need to do to have my surgery! Count your blessings!!!! You're almost there!!!

Touche! I will not complain. You are absolutely right, I am very lucky. I read a post a while back where someone said their insurance didn't cover surgery so they dropped it and signed up for Obamacare insurance and it was covered. Not sure what is entailed in that but it may be worth checking into.

I have needed this firm Nealy 2 weeks ago. I have struggled the whole way. So sad. I am scheduled for Friday. I pray that all is well for me to have this even though I cheated nearly everyday (I know please keep me lifted). I am feeling really good today though. I had two shakes and my salad. I plan to have another shake and a Protein Bar. I know my nutritionist would be proud of all, well minus the dressing on my salad :(

Craving carbs sooo badly! This is my 2nd week on my mostly liquid diet. 2 shakes, veggies, a high Protein low carb dinner, sf Jello and sf Popsicles a day. Will be doing this until my surgery date because I suck at losing weight on my own. Hence the need for surgery. Lol. Waiting for ins approval then I can get a date. Hopefully the end of October. My husband hasn't killed me yet. That is a plus

      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!
