FrankinTexas, my liquid diet starts today as well. The nutritionist said 2 meals today 1 Protein Shake, 1 meal tomorrow 2 Protein Shakes, then from Wednesday on its liquids, Protein shakes, sugar free popsicles etc. I'm a little nervous but ready to give it my all.

July 28th here

[Luvnme4eva 29]

I'm so confused right now. My pre op test showed that I had a hiatal hernia. I need to do an upper gi test to see if my surgeon can fix it during my wls. Problem is I've moved to Las Vegas my surgery was going to take place in Waukegan Illinois near wear I lived. I have family there so I was just gonna fly back for surgery like I did for my pre op. But, now with the hernia it's becoming harder to do. I already left illinois when the nurse called saying I need to do the upper gi test now I have no way of getting it done til I go back to Illinois in which case may not be done on time because I get there on the 24th my surgery is on the 27th that monday. But there is no guarantee that he will fix the hernia so the liquid diet I'm on now and flight there for surgery could just be a bust all for nothing. Sooooo I'm thinking of just transferring everything out here to Las Vegas. Then I'll have to find a new doctor etc. What should I do should I take the chance with current doctor or switch to doctor here in Las Vegas. BTW my insurance is Tricare Prime military insurance.

I had my surgery Monday, didn't know I had a hiatal hernia until I woke up in horrific pain after it was over. I think my pain is because there was already scar there and he had to pull the skin extra tight under my breasts. As far a surgical pain from the bypass, I've hardly noticed that. Just feel like I've done a million ab exercises. Could go to a GI doc where you live and have them sent results to your doctor?

Had surgery Monday too and had repair to the hiatal hernia .. I'm super sore and I got stuck with this drain .. that bothers more than anything

Is the drain from having the hernia repair?

No .. think dr said something about the liver .. I was full of morphine when the dr told me

I'm on July 28th. Also day 3 of my liquid diet. Best wishes to everyone going through this journey. Anybody know of a decent tasting broth or do I have to make my own?

Did my own .. well my mom did lol .. she's better at it .. better taste than the store bought ones, just a chicken thigh or beef anything with a bone and with veggies ..

@@Daisy0818 Thank you. I'll give that a try. I made some Lipton Onion Soup mix, but it's way too high in Sodium even with using extra Water. I did add a small piece of white meat to try and give it more flavor. Not eating the meat or onions of course.

@@fit2cmygirlsgrow I tried the Unjury Protein Powder chicken Soup flavor and it was pretty good, just to give you another idea.
