Good morning everyone. My surgery is scheduled for October 22nd and I'm having the hardest time making sure I drink two Protein Shakes a day. I get really busy at work and just forget to drink one. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, me and my Water are not friends, because if we were, I wouldn't forget it all the time. I know I'm being silly but focusing on food is not my strong suit. That's why I get in trouble. I get so busy I forget to eat and then I am so hungry I can eat a cow.

Place your phone in your pocket or nearby on alarm vibrate for the time to drink shake, it may help .

Good luck!

Today is the first day of preop diet. Surgery 10/22 too. Can't imagine forgetting to eat with so little to eat. The Water is going to be hard tho.

Hey my surgery is scheduled for October 22nd too! I am having a hard time too finding time to squeeze it all in too. Work keeps me pretty busy. I have to start my liquid diet on the 15th. I am super excited for the surgery. Getting prepared for it all has been a little overwhelming though.

      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!
