I'm scheduled for November 2nd. Start my two week preop liquid diet tomorrow. It is the part of the journey I'm the most worried about.

Good luck DuckOfEvil. I just received my date today - Nov 14. I am concerned about the pre-op diet as well. I've yet to find a Protein Drink that I can tolerate the taste of.

Thanks Faith! My program has specific line of products I have to use called New Direction. Hope they taste good. Personally I liked the taste of the powdered "muscle milk" I found that one (of the ones I've tried) the best.

Have you tried any of the high Protein milks? Fairlife is 13 grams of protein in 8 ounces and it's good. Carbmaster (Kroger brand. Don't know if you have Kroger in your area) is another high protein milk that I like.

She is on FB and Pinterest too.

Good luck to you as well.

I'm glad my program is just like "here eat this" and takes all the thinking out of it for me!

Had preop testing today. Preop office visit with my surgeon next week. Looks like this is really going to happen.

Hi DuckOfEvil,

Thank you for the information. I don't have a Kroger but I am going to check the protein suggestions you mentioned. How did your liquids day go today? Was it easier than you were expecting?

Thinking of you.

Faith

      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!
