@vegasrosee99@yahoo.com Sorry your date got changed. It's so hard waiting! Use this time to clean a closet or something. LOL. I did do a lot of laundry and cleaning the week of surgery. The nesting mode kicked in, I got a lot done. I'm 12 days post-op and already have a pair of jeans to retire. I'm so excited. I've only lost 16 pounds but I've lost 38 inches. I'm not getting in all the Protein and Water they suggest. I'm just not hungry or thirsty so I don't think of it. I keep saying I'll do better tomorrow. Hopefully I will. Are you on a liquid diet? My surgeon had me on one 2 weeks prior. That was very hard for me.

Was not totally compliant with pre-op diet. Now I have to go weigh in and see if I can still have sleeve done Wednesday. I pray I can. If I can't do it now, I don't think another week will help. I've waited so long. I'm scared to fail.

One of my daughters is getting married in mid October. My surgery is Sept 23rd. I'm trying to predict what size I will be 3.5 weeks post-op. Thoughts anyone?

Are you on the full liquid diet for two weeks before surgery? If so, i would guess you would be down about 20 pounds at that point.

I am also scheduled for surgery on the 17th. Remove the lap band and do the sleeve. Any ideas for clear liquid diet are appreciated.

      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!
