@@lkh1986 my pre-op isnt going well.

my nerves have shot almost everything I have been trying to maintain the past month.

I over indulge in some foods  I am not sleeping well and I am literally making myself sick, causing an empty stomach, causing hunger, causing too my re-feuling causing upset stomach, and the cycle goes around and around.

 

I went online to buy some Protein fruit drink packets and got so overwhelmed with the variety and companies to choose from that I completely shut down.  

 

I am leaving for holidays on Thursday and back on Tuesday.  Tuesday will be the day I turn myself around.  We are out camping in the bush for 5 days so I will be able to re-group myself and calm these nerves.  

Sorry to hear your struggling so much.  There are a lot of options on what to buy.  After reading lots of posts and being in some FB support groups I have kinda went with the majority and I ordered Unjury unflavored protein packets and PB2 powder.  I ordered GENEPRO unflavored protein powered of of Amazon.  I think I would like to try the nectar stuff but I am going to wait a bit.  All these products are so expensive.  I have also been using Premier Protein that you can get from Sams Club or Walmart.  Its a much better deal at Sam's.  Don't beat yourself up.  Do what you can do and if you make a mistake, get back on track again as soon as possible.  Hope  you enjoy your holiday.  Im going on a small get away the last weekend of August myself.  Will be interesting camping/boating with a bunch of people and Im suppose to be only doing shakes and veggies!

Just wanted to say that for all who have chosen Dr Fernando Garcia, excellent choice. He performed my lap band to VSG revision and it was a complication free surgery. You are all in good hands!!

Best wishes!

I am going for a revision, again, with a Bariatric Pal Dr Zavalza and am scheduled for Sept 4th.

best wishes everyone!

I'm flying to San Diego on the 10th. Will be sleeved on the 11th in TJ. Pre-op diet is not easy but I know it's preparing for wonderful successes to come. Good luck to all of you.

      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!
