It goes into depth about rates of GERD post gastric sleeve. In many cases, it actually reduces GERD. It is rare that GERD develops if you don't already have it. And the rate of GERD after 3 years is very low. Lower than your risk by just being an obese person. I read those horror stories and then did some looking into the actual research. This is a metanalysis of many studies, not just one study. The one quoted recently in the forums has a sample size of 16 people.

Thanks for sharing. Meta-analysis is the best kinda literature and trumps any single study.

OMG! I have the same surgery date scheduled for blossom! Maybe I will see you there!

Exactly! I am going to try to make shrimp tonight and see if that helps as it is one of my favorite foods.

I am on the pre-op diet too, day 4. I have not been hungry at all between "meals/shakes". I even reached out to my team to find out if I had to eat/drink everything on the diet. She said as much as possible so I get the proper nutrients. I haven't eaten all my "meals" since I started and today I am literally forcing myself to eat which makes me feel sick. Like @SleeverSk mentioned, I am not knocking it because I have heard of people really struggling through this and cheating. I appreciate that it has been easy so far and hope it continues until surgery on the 21st and for a while after.

my diet was all liquid plus four Protein Shakes a day, so first of all, consider yourself lucky that you can have a meal!
secondly, since your eating very few carbs, your body is likely in ketosis. It usually happens after three or four days of ultra-low carb eating. It was that way with the all-liquid diet, too - after about four days, it got easier because I wasn't so ravishingly hungry.

Its a good thing don't knock it !! there could be many reasons for it 1 that comes to mind is that you are meeting the nutrients your body needs. Maybe you are more hydrated now, what ever the reason its a good thing it will make your pre op diet much easier thats for sure

I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet for VSG scheduled 3/24. For the first two days I was STARVING and snacked all day on cucumbers and bell peppers in addition to the diet plan. My diet plan consists of one Protein Shake for Breakfast, one for lunch, and then 5 oz lean Protein and unlimited non starchy vegetables for dinner. Staring yesterday and today as well I have been experiencing zero appetite. This morning I had to make myself drink the protein shake where two days ago I was savoring every sip. I am not craving any foods, not even carbs, and have little desire to eat. Is this normal? Does anyone know what is going on with me?
