Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I'm from central Jersey. I'm having my surgery Wednesday @ Robert Wood Johnson New Brunswick. I'm excited, nervous, anxious, you name it...lol I just want to get it over! I have been on my liquid diet, and working my booty off at the Gym, needless to say I can't wait for start of my new life!

Do you have the Protein drinks? My nutritionist recommended Atkins-lift Protein Drinks - it has 20g of Protein in 16oz, Soups (Campbell's cream of chix, or Tomato Soup or chix broth) I made cauliflower Soup and added plain protein in it. I googled to get ideas. Jello, pudding, Protein shakes

I actually called them first, but they only take out of network coverage and I have Horizon Omnia. Dr. Sadek is doing my surgery, he also has an office in Freehold which is where I would see him; however I'm having my surgery at RWJ since it's tier 1 which means my surgery is covered 100%, I'm just paying $250 copay for the one night that I'm staying inpatient.

Sandee, this is for pre-op, or post op?

      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!
