And May is such a pretty month! You'll be able to do your exercising in the sunlight on green grass with flowers all around. And summer will be easier because you're not as big as you were last year. Good times and good things ahead, my friends![emoji14][emoji304][emoji13]

Hi May sleeves,

We are literally halfway through the April and our surgeries are looming. Anyone have any new experiences/fears/updates to share?

I haven' started my preop diet and I just went through a phase where I wanted to eat everything in sight....because I know after I start my preop....there will be no more of that...surgery date 5/11/18

Hi! I am May 14 and feeling incredibly excited! My pre-op diet is only 2 days (sat+sun before Monday surgery) but lately I’ve considered following others and doing a 1 or 2 week liquids plan? I’m terrified my liver will be too big to operate on. What does your pre-op diet look like?

I haven' had my preop nutrition appointment yet. It is on 4/26. At that point it will only be two weeks until surgery....I'm hoping for a week but will do whatever he says.

I’m having bypass May 7...I was nervous/excited...then I too went through the phase where I wanted to eat...I had to lose 10% of my weight to get approved, I did that fine...now I have my pre op with my primary dr on Thursday and my weight is up a little and I’m nervous...my weight is not supposed to be up at all during this time...I’m thinking of opting out of getting weighed...the only weight that matters will be next week at my surgical pre op...

I'm scared to get on the scale now, but I guess I really need to know where I am so that I can get my act together.. I' pretty sure they won' cancel after insurance approval, but I most certainly don' want to be the one who gained weight either.

      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!
