You got this, I was hoping that day 4 would be easier for you! my husband keeps saying it will all be worth it... lol I know he is right but at the moment I am just going day by day! I am fearing the weekend because I don't want to too much downtime to focus on my hunger you know?

Thanks, paddyski, I need the encouragement:) This is just kicking my bum big time-I don't have much energy, the shakes (I have to use New Direction) are causing fun gastro issues for me, and I want something other than the shakes, broth, and Jello. Everyone says week 2 is better so I am hoping that's true for me too:unsure:

I'm having my surgery 11/8 and just started the pre-op diet today. I feel like this is going to be the slowest 2 weeks of my life. I still feel so intimidated by this pre-op diet but I know how important it is.

Same! My surgery date is 11/5. I started my pre-op diet today also. Feels impossible at this point! But I am hoping the next 10 days fly by! What is your pre-op diet? Mine is 4 shakes per day and I am also allowed to have up to 2 cups of non-starch vegetables. (just finished some cucumbers!). Good luck!

Your 2 week prep is pretty similar to mine! I am loving cucumbers and peppers!

It's so sad! I'm craving vegetables because I can't have them! I'm so jealous! I never thought that I would ever crave veggies in my life:)

I am the same. I don't feel hungry really. But I do have a headache and just not feeling great. And I am more tired then normal. But I think I was thinking it was going to be so terrible before I started, that so far it isn't as bad as I thought. Hopefully it keeps getting better and better each day and the next 10 days will go quickly! You also reminded me that I am allowed to have sugar free ice pops, so maybe I will have that as a 'treat' tonight :-)

      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!
