this liquid diet is hard.

i had a mental breakdown earlier.

this process is very mental.

im hoping to stay strong!

food is such a challenge tho.

the supermarket & commercials (on tv) are all around promoting JUNK & unhealthy foods! besides, its TOO expensive to eat healthy.

Eating healthy really isn't too expensive, especially after the surgery when we can only eat a tiny amount of food.

I also have to tell you it gets much easier after surgery (at least for me it has) because I have no real desire to eat. I know it will come back eventually but right now the idea of eating junk food makes me want to barf.

When I was on the liquid diet, I didn't watch normal TV at all. I watch 600 lb life and Fat Doctor UK nonstop the whole 10 days and I went to bed at 9pm each night.

Watch food, Inc on Netflix. If nothing else it'll turn your stomach against junky food for a couple of days!

I haven't watched regular TV in about 20 years. I will watch Netflix, and catch an old series there sometimes, but commercial TV is was too offensive and vacuous for me. I would rather read a book. There are no commercials in books, although a lot of the characters are eating better than I do.

      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!
