Keep busy... Get rid of any food at home that will be a temptation... I have been on my liquid diet now for 13 days and my surgery is tomorrow morning. the first few days are the hardest. After that your body starts to get use to it and the hunger is not as bad. Good luck.

I second keeping busy and getting rid of all the temptations. I ordered adult crafts from Amazon but you could do anything. Read a book, binge watch Netflix, organize a cabinet, literally whatever you have to do to distract yourself from food. If it’s a serious problem you may want to discuss with the bariatric therapist but if it’s just mild head hunger you can just keep busy.

Thanks. excited to get it over with lol. and i got your PM i will just answer here. Ive been overweight most of my adult life. I am 34 years old. I remember being 18-19 years old and a girl i dated at the time we weighed ourselves and i weighed about 200lb and i am 5'4. From then on my weight started to go up and up once i was out of high school. In high school i was very active being in the Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) always exercising, marching and such. Once i got out of high school i was no longer active working full time typically in a office environment always eating fast food for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. By around 2016 i was around 270 and last year i reached 300lb and April 4th when i started my liquid diet i was 317.

Will Stop thinking about food - that’s what will happen. You will think of clothes and the gym etc., after get past the recovery stage. I think with gastric is best not to buy too much clothes as you will keep loosing for awhile. Go through your list of foods after surgery make sure you have what you need. I live alone, so will have to prepare all before. I won’t have surgery until late June if I get a miracle or early July. Things moving fast. Good luck. 🍀

      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!
