Recommended Posts

OMG, all the commercials on TV are about food, McDonald's, Burger King, Italian food, everything is about food. It looks so good, going on day five of the liquid diet. ????

That's why I don't watch tv and anything I do watch I tivo it to skip commercials.

I had my nutrition class on monday and was able to sample their Protein drink. Labs completed Tuesday along with psychologist meeting. Wasn't real impressed with him. I wrote out a sample schedule based on current work schedule for long term success, but keep fretting over the pre-op liquid schedule. I keep second guessing myself over the success of this long term.

I am and I can't decide if I'm elated or terrified. Depends on which video I watch. Everyone sticking to their pre op diet? I find cabbage Soup diet Soup helps.

I'm scheduled for the 18th also, but getting concerned because my pre-op blood work is Mon then PCP on Thurs,...worrying that all the paper work will not make it in time, why would they give me a surg. date few day's after my consult...had consult on Oct 16, within 6 day's got the call and date for procedure...Nov 18th..also insurance approval.??????

Don't know what to pack...? Hi all- I'm traveling quite a distance for my surgery and am going to be on my own so I want to prep for all. What should I bring food wise for post surgery? Any recommendations for clear broths / drinks etc? Broths seem to be really high sodium anyone have anything else they recommend that will provide acceptable subsistence?

      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!
