Cherie F...I can't imagine being on liquid diet for 12 days! I am barely hanging on for 5 days! You are a strong person! Just think, only 2 days away! Hang in there, it will be so worth it! Hugs and prayers to you on the 16th!

Newbe 312, this Isopure is not as tasty as the Protein shakes were, but I can do it for a day. So far I am drinking blue raspberry. I have a different flavor for this afternoon and this evening. The time has seemed to drag by, but now that is is the day before surgery, it seems to have flown. I am looking forward to tomorrow. It will be good to get the surgery behind me and move on with my life as a new, healthier, happier person.

I will have you in my thoughts and prayers as you undergo surgery tomorrow too. We will definitely be going through this together. Best wishes. Let's talk again after surgery!!!!!

I'm late returning to the party/group! Good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow! I report at 5:15 am in So. Cal. Hope I can catch some zzzzs's tonight. And yes, would love to buddy up or be in a group! Like @@songsmith I'm feeling under the weather and have a stuffy nose. Can't do anything now. @@Shiloh2004 I admire you for drinking Isopure, had the grape yesterday and it was fine. The mango/peach is meh so I'm skipping it. The nurse said it was ok so I'll keep it for after surgery.

      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!
