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.

Don't even think of the possibility of failure! You can do this! And YOU will succeed!!

Well. I'm on day 10 of liver shrinking. The proverbial half way point. I've been pretty good. Only cheat i had was about 2 kernels of popcorn at the cinema stolen from a mate (i had a tub of blackberries from my allowances and a bottle of sparkling Water as my movie snack) and a postage stamp sized piece of potato bread.< /p>

All in all I have been a good boy so far and can't see myself deviating too much in the next ten days. Still have to try harder with the Protein Shakes though. Sick to the eye teeth of them now but hey ho.

Anybody else gearing for surgery on the 1st of October? I'd love to find a buddy who is getting "knifed" same day as me! :)

To the journey ahead folks and if anybody has just had theirs done and is reading this in a hospital bed then I command you to smile and then take a little walk in my honour.

To the future

Just wanted to let you know, how much I enjoy reading your posts. You have a wonderful sense of humor! :)

I am approaching the final days of my pre-op diet, and really it wasn't so bad. My surgery is scheduled for this Monday, Sept. 21st, today I have my final visit with surgeon & anesthesiologist. Yay!! :D

Here is to a better, healthier, future for all of us!

      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!
