I can't wait until October. I need some help before surgery. Can someone give me some kind of ideas of Breakfast, lunch, dinner etc for shrink the liver dieting. I want to make sure I do everything right because once they get in there I sure don't want to have to do it again. What Protein drinks are the best? Are we suppose to start drinking those before surgery or afterwards?

Congratulations to all of you about to be banded and good luck on your journey.

As for shrinking the liver, some surgeons will put you on a pre-op liquid diet--protein shakes, broth, cream Soups, sugar/fat free popsicles, sugar/fat free Jello and the like was what I did for 3 weeks (supposed to be 2 but I caught a cold and my surgery was bumped back a week). I could have a small amount of lean Protein until 4 days before surgery, and I had either 2 hard boiled eggs or 2 unbreaded chicken tenders (frozen from Costco), both with just salt and pepper. I lost 25 lbs on it.

      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!
