Other than the expected pain from surgery.... I feel awesome! Band came out 2 days ago. I've had ZERO heartburn since. I ate mashed potatoes and gravy and a few bites of very tender turkey. I didn't throw up. Holy crap I freaking hated that band! Now to heal and get ready for bypass on 12/29.

What's the pre-op diet like for bypass? liquid for how long?

Congrats. Different surgeons have different diets so you'll have to ask yours. Good luck!

@@jingleboob -- I can't help you with your question, but I did notice the "super awesome chick" below your screen name. How did you get that rather than one of the preordained descriptors? The one that appears beneath my name makes my skin crawl. Who should I offer a bribe?

They are all different and it depends on how much weight you need to lose and how fatty your liver is.

I had bypass and had a 10 day liquids only pre op diet. It was hard but doable.

my diet was Protein drink 3 x a day and a lean cuisine once a day. and that was it. But every doctor has their own preop diet. when you see the nut they will go over your diet with you.

I'll only be on a one day liquid pre op diet for my bypass. Every doctor is so different, I had my band out a month ago now and down 1 tiny pound. It's so hard not to EAT now!

      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!
