No, its just about how my stomach is going to feel afterwards. Im worried about the pain and what if I don't eat enough and become dehydrated. I'm just super overthinking it all.

I had my surgery on 1/3. I can tell you it is not that painful and unless you don't drink any liquid otherwise you will not be dehydrated.

my hardest part is actually eating my Multivitamin. I don't like the taste I should talk to my physician to try out other brands.

My original surgery date on Jan 4 was cancelled due to COVID hospitalizations.

It has now been rescheduled for 8 March 2022.

Anyone else on their liquid diet and super tired??? Just checking to make sure it’s not just me😂😂😂 day 5

I am also, it's not just you. I am on my 6th day of liquid diet. I have had some burst of energy throughout the day but overall I am just so tired. We will get past this!

Hi I am new to this group, which my nurse practitioner recommended that I participate in it. I have a surgery date of January 26, 2022. Can any of you recommend a plant based Protein shake/powder that works well for you? I have been using the Premier Protein products and the Ready Water products.

Thanks,

Alecia B.

I feel your pain. Mine was scheduled for Jan 18 and has been rescheduled for March 3. I am happy that I at least have a new date. It seems as if some people's just get cancelled.

Yes I tried them and I hate them already. I was looking to see if maybe I could get a good liquid one. I will miss my capsules🙁 let me know if you find anything good.

Hi owyn plant based Protein Shake is pretty good. I only tried chocolate. It’s on the sweeter side so I can’t really rock with it. I’m stuck with Isopure Protein Powder for now it’s not punch in your face sweet. It’s whey Protein though.

Yes please do! I have thought about opening the capsules and putting it a spoon with a little Protein Shake. I don’t know if that will be work for my stomach.

      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!
