Hi healthychange32,

What kind of preop diet do you have? Mine is 2 Protein Shakes a day and a high Protein low carb dinner. I'm supposed to lose 8-12lbs prior to surgery.

There's also a private FB support group for all sleevers; those that are pre-op and years post-op as well. It's a HUGE group and family. It's called Gastric Sleeve Support Group. I'm 3 mos into my 6 mo pre-op stage.

November 2nd for me too. My uk surgeon's pre op diet is 4 pints of milk and 1 bouillon a day. Has said he prefers no Meal Replacement shakes but I am having 1 slim fast because it is thick and makes me feel a little fuller.

It's proper disgusting tho.

I'm adding sugar-free milk shake flavourings to the milk, that's quite nice.

I'm not a big user of social media but would love to join a Facebook group.

So far, third day of pre-op diet. It's ok.

Good luck everybody, the excitement helps with the diet.

      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!
