Well ten days into my liquid diet and 17lbs down its time! Tomorrow morning at 10:30 I'll finally have restriction again! :) Can't wait!

To all those being sleeved or banded soon I wish you all the best.

To those on the pre-op diet stay strong!

To those who were banded, succeeded, eroded, are are being sleeved (like me) good luck!

ONEderland here I come! (Again) :)

Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement. I'm through surgery and recovery. In my room now and the pain's tolerable. Now to walk walk walk like I did with my band and get rid of this gas lol.

So far the biggest difference from band to sleeve is the trouble getting Water down... Tough to get 64 ounces in... Hopefully today will be better.

Both my pre op diets were virtually the same. Ten days Clear liquids only and three boost diabetic shakes and a cup of vegetables. Pretty simple. The first time I found it difficult but I thought it was a joke after I lost 130 lbs. The second time (for sleeve) the pre-op was no big deal because I'm laser focused on the results. I know it feels hard, but in reality you'll be so happy in the end. Just stay focused, stay busy and go one day at a time. Good luck!

      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!
