Before having gastric bypass what are some of the foods you had to have just one last time? My surgery is scheduled the 29th of this month so I will start the liver shrinking diet next week.. This week has been all about Mexican type foods... I didn't realize I liked it so much till that's all I wanted this week... So what's your foods?

Sweets from my favorite local bakery. My mom visited and I had her bring them the day before I started my pre op diet.

My favorite was a grilled stuffed burrito from Taco Bell, smothered in hot sauce. Also ramen noodles. I can't even fathom how many packages of ramen noodles I've eaten in my lifetime...

I only had a one day liquid diet the day before surgery. I'd already lost more than the 10 percent of my excess weight that they required. I had my last pre op appointment at 8 am at the hospital the day before my surgery.

When I left the hospital after the appointment I suddenly had an epiphany! My surgery was scheduled for 12 noon the next day, which meant I still had about three hours until I had to start my 1 day liquid diet.

I went to pizza Hut and had a final blow out - cheese and pepperoni pizza, bread sticks, the big chocolate cookie and Coke Zero. It was great and I don't regret it one bit. I'm 11 months out now, reached my goal weight, and haven't had any fast food, bread, or soda since that day. I no longer even crave them.

I had foods I thought I might not be able to tolerate after surgery. My "last bite" before starting on my liver shrinking diet was a chocolate turtle from a really good chocolatier.

This is cruel and unusual punishment. I thought it would be hypocritical to splurge but I did have a twice baked potato and t bone steak.....5 days into my liquid diet and I'm craving split pea Soup but it probably has too many carbs :( I'm doing ok though

At my visit with the nurse practitioner this past week (2 days after the phase II diet) he asked how I gained weight! I explained that I panicked the week prior and at everything I would miss; such as pizza, pop tarts, and the best fried chicken and homemade macaroni and cheese I've ever made. I love to cook and I learned how to cook from southern women, then married into an Italian family, picking up great cooking skills there as well - now I need to reteach myself to cook healthy foods.

      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!
