Well, my sleeve is scheduled for April 16....one week from today. As I sit here eating my chips, I am slowly and painfully saying goodbye to them. I don't know what all I can eat later, I'm still not up to par on my research and diet control, but I do know that for a few weeks or whatever it will be liquids, then pureed then soft, etc. No chips. :( Is that sad??? That I am sad I won't get these yummy foods that I love? Well....on the opposite spectrum, I am all about excited to have a healthier body. I want to fit places that have been a struggle to fit, and I want to move around and be able to walk without pain. Here's my joy! I am excited about getting better!!! :) I'm also getting scared as the day approaches. I have pre-op tomorrow. Wish me well! And I hope all of you are doing great as well!!!

April 20th here and I start my pre op liquid diet tomorrow. Today has been a horrible day for me: sick, headache and kids driving me nuts! Hoping tomorrow is better!

Hope you are felling better, I am recovering from bronchitis. Feeling much better today. Glad they didn't postpone my surgery due to it. Feel better!!,

So sorry to hear this hope you are feeling better soon just try and do what your surgeon tells you and keep dreaming of how good you will feel after you are out of the hospital and losing weight :)

      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!
