I start my pre-op diet tomorrow as well. I like your outlook, I hadn't considered it that way. Positive way to look at it!

I started my pre-op last monday mine last for 4 weeks.

In my doc office it is 4x Optifast /day and 1 veggie cup per meal but I haven't been able to take them.

Good luck :780_sparkling_heart:

I'm on day seven of the liquid diet from hell. (surgery December 5th) I'm hungry and grumpy. I would not wish this diet on my worst enemy.

5 premier Proteins, sugar free Jello, sugar free Popsicles, broth...and 100 calories of either cream of wheat or yogurt.

it's ghastly, and I miss food.

On the other hand....i'm waking up almost a pound lighter every day, and it's a good mental prep for the psychological crazy of the post surgical diet.

I do feel prepared for what I'm about to undertake.

I would of loved to be able to have broth... I mean check vanilla, chocolate or strawberry flavor gets old... quickly .

7.5/28 days. I am so envious at people who only have two week's from what I saw normally people have 1-2 week and not 2-4 week like my surgeon office does.... :55_frowning:

      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!
