The first day or so was tough, just getting the routine going and getting used to drinking all of the Water also.


I coach soccer, and Florida is hot. But I probably drink about 160-200 oz of water a day. No problem. But I use a straw. I'm going to miss my straws.

Yeah, that's a lot of water! Much more than what I drink.

I love Tally but I haven't been there in years. I'll be going up this summer though for grad school.

I am having the surgery on March 9. I am very nervous/excited also. I would like to have kept my surgery a little more private but have received a lot of advice from a coworker who is a fellow sleever. So instead of assuming they will keep my confidence I have been pretty open about it. Also my mother-in-law, who can't hold Water, saw my obesity surgery folder. Normally I am very private person so this is a little uncomfortable for me, but I am hoping it will help hold me accountable.

What is everyone doing to prepare for post op? Are you pureeing food and freezing it? I was told to puree approved food and store it in ice cube trays in the freezer- since that's the correct portion size...

Thoughts?

My program doesn't do a puree stage. We go from liquids to a soft solid stage.

Right now I have just prepared for the Optifast diet. I start it on Saturday and do it for 4 weeks until surgery.

You are doing really well! Looks like you have lost almost 100 pounds already.

      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!
