Quick question everyone...why can't we (on full liquid pre-op diets)have Soups that are low in fat and calories instead of liquid soups? I'm just curious. A lot of them are lower in calories and fat and are probably better for you. What's the deal with that. Does it have to do with how it breaks down in the body?

i too am getting banding Oct 22. sometimes i think about how close it is and i feel like i am going to have an anxiety attack. i have had a few major surgeries and i felt the same way when i was going to have them. i guess it's normal.

my dr. e-mailed me a couple of videos to watch on the computer. i almost wished i hadn't watched them.

hey gottabthin! I to find myself thinking constantly of swimming and not dying because I can not make it the whole lap. I swam competition as a teenager and my goal is to be able to have the endurance to swim like that again, not the speed, the strength just to make it.

TO THE 21ST WE GO......

hI ALL; sucessfully banded oct 11/08 by Dr Corvala in Tijuana, Mexico. Cannot praise the staff enough , surgery was very easy. Care was excellent. Would highly recommend. :thumbup: I currently in San Diego overnight on my way to las vega to meet my family:smile:. I feel very good, just a little sore. I slept alot while I had the chance and I think this helps heal.

I go for my preadmission testing on the 16th, 1 week before surgery. I have surgery on the 21st and started my preop diet friday night and I am currently starving, I think my body trying to adjust to the shock gave me a Migraine this morning on my way to the Doctors office for my evaluation with the personal trainer to set up an exercise plan to work with, so I was bad and skipped my morning classes because I was having a hard time functioning and I needed to be at my evening classes so I came home and slept for a while which helped. What has been helping me with the hunger is I keep distracting myself with, homework, my Mom calling to check on me 2 and 3 times a day, as well as playing a game on my laptop, plus getting outside and walking. Ok I think I am starting to ramble and its time for me to go to bed since its 4 am here. Congrats on everyones upcoming surgeries.

That is Great news!

I am 11 days out now and am finally feeling really back to "normal" as in my gas pains and rock in the stomach feelings are pretty much gone! I finally went out to town to Tarjay yesterday and had a blast! (I reaaaaly missed walking the stores)

I am 10 lbs down and just thrilled. I get my staples out on Thursday and first official weigh in on the docs scale.

Have a beautiful day!

      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!
