My SVG is scheduled for August 29. I am going to Hershey for a few days before while I will be on mostly liquids. Is there anyway I will be happy during this time? I am worried that I'll be hungry and miserable. Husband's vacation had to be picked in January, so couldn't change it. What's your experience?

My surgery was the end of December so I was on my liquid diet through 3 holiday parties, a birthday party, a funeral, Christmas and New Year's Day. I just sipped Water, broth and Protein shakes through all of it. Make your vacation about having fun and spending time with your family, not about the food you can't eat.

(Bummer to be around all that chocolate, though :( )

Vacation was picked in January but I am guessing your surgery date wasnt. You must have thought about some before. You will be fine if you are making an important commitment to yourself. You can do it! However, if you dont think you can, then postpone the surgery to accommodate the trip. No need to be miserable.

Just worried, since I will still have my pre surgery stomach and just be on liquids? Do they fill you enough?

liquid diets are not ideal but depending on what kind of liquids you can be creative and stay pretty full. Protien drinks and smoothies made me feel full pre surgery. If you get hungry have another one. Thicker Soups like Tomato, potato, chowder,etc help too. First few days are the hardest. Sounds like a lot more fun being on vacation than my living room. Make the most of 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.

        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!
