O.K. I am new at this so bear with me. My insurance has approved me and I am going to schedule my pre-op studies in mid October. Then set a date for surgery after the third of November. I have to wait for some vacation time since I am a single Mom. I have to admit I am still a little apprehensive because I am not sure if I will have the willpower needed for the pre-op diet and the liquid fase. I am just trying to stay focused on the end results.

hey harleykat!!

the liquid diet stinks!!! i am sure you can imagine! all dr's a different i had 2 weeks liquids. some have no pre-op diet just no food the day before or day of surgery.

i did great the first 5 days then the weekend hit and i ate fast food, grilled food, snacky foods, anything i could swallow!!! basically a binge. (gee sounds like my diet history, no wonder i need the band!) then the next week i ate regular till 4 days before. i did 2 days Protein shakes only and 2 days Clear Liquids only. and believe it or not... LOST 6 pounds...

now the post op diet is a little easier because you dont FEEL like eating much less like cheating!!!

I had 2 days of Clear Liquids, they werent bad at all because i drank soda pop which is filling and knowing that you cant have it after the surgery..i had to get my diet pepsi fix in. I thought the clears weren't bad at all....but the laxative i had to drink was tortuous!

      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!
