I start mine next week so am also keen on any tips and think it will be a challenging two weeks for myself.

Good luck to you!!

Hang in there. The first 4 days are the worst, but it gets so much easier after that. Keep plugging away and take it day by day.

Thank you so much and it is hard ha ha but I keep telling myself nothing will taste as good as feeling healthy and being skinny feels.

I'm on day 6 of 14. It is still tough but getting through it.
Water...drink Water when you find yourself having a headache.
Warm items help me feel more satisfied. Soups and high Protein hot chocolate are my favorites.
Add ice in a blender with your shakes...it gives them a little bulk and there are small bits of ice you can chew!
I add benefiber to one or two of my shakes each day to help keep things moving.
I get up every 2 hours (sometimes less) to use the bathroom. I've lost about 7lbs since I started and I'm sure a lot of that is water!
I'm trying a new recipe every day for shakes and soups. So while I'm having 2 chocolate Premier Protein shakes a day, the third one is usually something different. (My plan is 3 shakes and 3 protein liquid foods per day).
I keep trying different yogurts but so far haven't found one I like.
I keep telling myself better liver better surgery. I repeat that every time I see a food commercial or someone offers me something and I have to resist.

      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!
