So today is my first day of pre-op. Being in the UK it's bedtime soon so I've had my day and all has gone well!

I'm not really an eater so the lack of intake is ok with me. Water, Protein shake, Water, water and 3oz of roast beef with a good salad. I'm sure it will get 'tense' as I head towards the op on September 13th (thankfully not a Friday!)

I had a great party this weekend where I drank for to much as I said goodbye to Alcohol.... For now.

So I'm starting my journey at 358lbs. Apprehensive, nervous not knowing what you don't know BUT double exited.

A lot of you guys have inspired me to get this done and if I get anywhere near your successes. I will be delighted.

Holy crow!!! You get roast beef and salad on post-op Day One???

You must think us Americans are nuts putting up with these liquid diets for 2 weeks post-op!

The food went down well? And stayed there? Which surgery did you have?

My husband was 66, and was sleeved. He was at 230, and now 3 years later and so easy, is at at 213, 6'2". He has given up his lifelong habit of saving fat clothes of every size, and has become a clothes horse with more clothes than I could wear. He is active, boating, kayaking, and happy with the way he looks for the first time in his life. best wishes!

      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!
