May 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I got my date on Monday and I started the Optifast diet on Tuesday. Now I am on the3rd day of liquids until surgery. I'm not sure if I can hold out for 2 weeks with out any solid food but I am going to give it my best shot. I am looking forward to being under 200 lbs by the time my birthday comes in September.:thumbs_down:

I started my 2 week liquid diet today in preparation for my May 8th surgery.

I pray every minute that I can do this for 2 weeks. Mind over matter. Say that often to your self. I wan this surgery so bad, so what is 2 weeks out of my life.

Good luck to you. Keep me posted on your journey.

That is a really good idea. I am doing fine on the pre op except that yogurt seems to go straight through, if you know what I mean. I am really getting excited about Thursday. I hope to be able to return to work on Monday.

I was banded on 5/6/08 and I feel great. Physically and mentally I am doing just fine. My doctor took me 2 days early and I am so glad he did.

How is every one. I was banded on Thursday (can't belive i can say that). I am doing very well. No pain meds today, and very little gas pain. I have been trying to move around and then rest. I am surprised how good I do feel. I was able to lose 17 lbs on the pre op diet and Dr said that really helped. Guess they do know what they are talking about. would like to hear from others. I am still doing Protein Shakes today. Cheryl:thumbup:

      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!
