Every surgeon has different standards and it is based on weight as well as a bunch 0f other things I have seen some who don't have to do any preop liquid diet and others up go 4 weeks on here

Some people need to do a 6 month diet and loose before surgery is even considered

I'm actually feeling pretty good physically today (day 5, also)! My headache is almost completely gone and the hunger only kicks in right before it's time for my next 'meal,' but I'm definitely starting to notice some of the emotional effects! I almost burst out crying today at work for literally no reason -- I'm actually in a good mood! I've always been super sensitive to my hormones, I'm on my period this week, AND I've lost 14lbs since Sunday. I'm trying to be nice to myself; my body's been through a lot already!

It's so nice to be able to just vent this stuff to be people who understand, though. My coworkers and friends are just like, "I couldn't do it!" and that's not helpful.... >_<

Hello all so nice to hear I'm not alone on the preop diet. I'm on day 5 of 14. Surgery is 3/28. Down 12 pounds in 5 days on preop liquid diet, I swear that is what is motivating me right now and keeping me from eating, I could so go for eggs or a grilled chicken breast right now, lol. At least I'm craving good Protein I guess.

How long do u guys think I should be out of work for the gastric bypass ? I work as an medical assistant not to invasive but I already know the symptoms since I had a sleeve done before so I'm asking for some advice of how many days off? I'm thinking I should be ok with one week ?

I'm only taking a week because I am self employed so no work means no pay but I am prepared to cancel some of my work if I'm not up to it.

      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!
