I am having my surgery in May17th! I am super exited. I started my preop diet today with slim fast. I decided to start early because I realized I started eating everything I enjoy thinking I could never eat again that way.

I'm scheduled for my VSG on May 16th. I start my 2wk pre-op on May 2nd. I know it's my nerves, but I'm so scared that the pre-op diet isn't going to work and my surgery is going to be cancelled 😞

What are some pre-op tips you guys have been following? I know I have to stay at 800cals a day with two Protein Shakes and a "normal" meal. I bought some Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisines to get me through. Hopefully these will be okay ✌️

A little bit nervous, but, much more on the side of being so thankful that this is actually going to happen! I put it off for a couple of years, due to my work being overwhelmed during the pandemic. We are so lucky to live in this age of miracles and wonders! Keep me posted, and best of luck! Its going to be awesome!

You do the same!!! You should update your info (your profile info) so we can see more about you. What insurance do you have, how long did approval take, what surgery are you having, what is your starting and goal weights?

      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!
