Been on the liquid diet for a week and I lost 10 pounds. So the end result will be good. Just save a cheat 1 for something good.

Did you have to say tacos? Lol. My surgery is Sept. 17 and I started my pre-op diet today. I just had a bowl of chicken broth with a little poultry seasoning and black pepper. Not too bad but I really want some real food. I am already afraid that I won't make it through the next 2 weeks without cheating. God I pray the cravings go away! As usual I didn't really get hungry for favorite foods until I started the pre-op diet. Now I am suddenly craving everything I can't have. I need some willpower. Never expected this!

Good evening! I started my pre - op liquid diet too today. It wasn't as bad as I expected but who knows what tomorrow holds. Hang in there and just know that you're not in this alone. Feel free to reach out if you are having a weak moment.

Sorry! (They were yummy!)

Our doc has us do a week of Clear Liquids plus Protein Drinks. My husband works in a very physically demanding job and the doc told him that if he just absolutely had to eat something on workdays, then he could have one baked chicken breast each day.

Cool. My husband's and my surgeon is Dr. Jayaseelan at Dallas Bariatrics. it's a little over two hours from our house to his office, so not too bad of a drive. I just feel a lot more comfortable and confident with him than with any local surgeons here in WF.

      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!
