Surgery date

Is September 16

Hi Lucy,

I"m having surgery on the 16th as well. I'm not supposed to start my diet until the 2nd but I decided to start today. This is definitely no fun. I'm so hungry right now. :( We have to keep pushing through. It will all be worth it in the end.

Keep it up. :)

Sharon

I don't know if this is true for everyone, but I can't even finish a whole shake at once since my surgery. Those hunger pangs are gone! It's amazing. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, just hang on ;-) you can do it!!

Hey everyone, just returned from the supermarket. I bought everything I need to start my 10 day liquid diet on September 1st. For breakfast: chocolate Protein Shake with a banana (blended together). Morning snack plain yogurt. Lunch: chicken veggie Soup (blended to make it smooth). Snack: pudding. Dinner: same as lunch. Night snack pudding. That's it! I drink Water with a little bit of Crystal light. I'm happy I got my diet approved because so far I really like eating everything I'm going to have for the next 10 days. ????

Shelly 79 hang in there. It's funny when you are preparing and going thru your psych visit, nutition, and all the others in your head you know the day will eventually come but once you get the call that the date is set reality starts to set in. I think about all the thousands of dollars spent on the clothes I have in my closet that will be donated. I also think about the unknown of what my body will become as I head down this road. The surgery does not scare me. I am sure there will be some pain . Life after surgery is my worry. But when I think about the healthier side of what my life will become I smile and all the other worries go away. My clothes will be donated to the Women's shelter in Atlanta, some will go to the consignment stores where I hope to make a little money to buy the new clothes I will need and my weight center has a clothes closet where you can trade the clothes you can no longer fit for those you can. This journey is scary the fear of the unknown. What's wonderful is finding other's you can share your thoughts with , find support and support others which is what I love about this blog/site. Good luck and we'll wishes to everyone.

The book Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies has been a tremendous help to me so far.

      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!
