I'm also scheduled for the 25th. When are you guys starting your pre-op diets and how do they differ from what you have been doing?

August 25th too! I've been on my presurgical diet since the 11th and I've lost 7 pounds as of today I think I've been able to stay on the diet so well because I realize that if I don't it'll make my surgery harder and might even result in a cancellation of my surgery. Can't wait till the 25th and begin my new life.

Easterli, good luck with your surgery. 5 days and counting down. Are you nervous? I haven't been but reading some of these posts about jitters is rubbing off on me. I "Came Out" on Facebook, but I understand why some keep it private. I just wanted it out there to get support. Some family and friends who have kept it personal have reached out to me privately and I am so glad. Hope to read about everyone's experiences. Michele

      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!
