I am scheduled for the 21st :) I started my Optifast diet yesterday (3 shakes 2 soups) and so far haven't been as miserable as I thought I would be, maybe because i'm excited to get through this!

I think the excitement is what's helping me through it all too! I've been in such a great mood since they called and gave me the appt! Usually I wake up feeling so full no matter what time I've eaten, but today I don't feel full or hungry! Yay lol

My preop diet is 4-5 shakes and 2 fruit servings and 1 veggie.

It takes me a while just to finish my 2 shakes, I can't imagine so many lol.

I'm the 28th in San Antonio. I go tomm for my preop appt. and get all my preop diet supplies. Super excited!

Yay good luck!!!

I am scheduled for today 9/9! Though I am excited about a new beginning I am also very nervous about having surgery. Good luck to you all!

Good luck today! I am so excited but I know the nervousness will kick in closer to the date. But it will all be worth it in the end!

      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!
