Can I join all this December fun? I just found out a little earlier today that my surgery will be on the 10th! By the time I found out, I had eaten Breakfast and lunch and today is day one of pre-op dieting. I guess I got bonus meals! now it's all about Protein Shakes and non starchy veggies!

Same thing happened yesterday to me. I got a call after breakfast and the bariatric clinic called and said they were moving my surgery up to Dec 4 from January 14. Day 1.5 of liquid diet. Thanksgiving will be tough but next Thanksgiving will be much better!!! Good luck everyone on your surgery.

I got the call my insurance was approved and my surgery is set for Dec 8th. I had a tentative date of 12/17 but it's now booked so it was going to be either the 8th or 22nd. I chose the 8th. The sooner the better! Starting my liquid diet Friday. I have a pre-op appointment with the surgeon on 2nd which I was told would last about 4 hours then the hospital pre-op on the 3rd. Will find out then what time the surgery will be. I am super excited!!

December 11th surgery date here. As for drinks, I've started using the Ultramet shake packets from Champion Nutrition. They pack 42g Protein into one drink, and you can find a box of 60 for about $100 on Google Shopping.

My surgery date is 12/16. I started the 6mo process back in April and received my approval from Aetna on 11/14. No pre-op diet. I'm very excited, but get more and more nervous as it gets closer!

      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!
