I am into day 1, and I think I underestimated how tired I would feel! I am a hair stylist so I'm working busy busy on my feet. I've had a premiere Protein chocolate shake, Water, some sf Jello, a Syntrax Nectar shake, and now I'm drinking water with mio flavor with b Vitamins hoping it will give me a boost. I'm emotional. I'm shaking and I'm sluggish.
I know the first few days are the hardest but geez. I just wanna crawl in a hole and cry. I'm not hungry, I just feel like junk.

I started the all liquid phase Monday. I agree. I am simply exhausted.

I started mine Monday and I'm suffering. [emoji30]





I started my clear liquid preop diet on Wednesday and I woke up feeling a tad better today. Wednesday was hard, yesterday was a bit better but still very cranky. Praying today will be even better because my poor kids are dealing with mama crank right now. :(
It's surprising how many people are allowed to have Protein Shakes like boost slim fast or Premier Protein (which is my favorite Protein drink). I can't even have those after surgery because of the calorie to protein ratio. Too many calories for the amount of protein you get. My dr gave me a list of protein I can have and those I can't.
For my preop liquid diet, I'm only allowed SF popsicles, SF Jello, Water plain or with Protein Powder mixed in, Decaf tea, and low sodium broth. Only starting my third day and already hating the taste of it all.

The shakes I am having can also be puddings and that's what held me over yesterday's but today I'm just sick of it. I want salt. Anything with salt. Maybe even just salt by itself at this point! I have another 8 days, and idk if I can do it!

We can do it. Mind over matter. Do it for your kids.

      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!
