Day before Surgery



Recommended Posts

This is the day before sugery and I'm ready for it to be over and ready to eat real food !! I think my sense of smell has intensified since I started this liquid diet... I can ride down the road and smell what the restraunts are cooking!

God lick tomorrow. Just remember after surgery to take it slowly and follow your doctor's instructions.

Now begins the real work. I'm sure you know you're going to have six weeks of clear liquid,

full liquids and then mushies. Then you can eat regular food, cut into fingernail sized pieces.

Nothing easy about this trip, bud. But then you'll begin to get fills, and depending on your will

power, the weight loss really begins. Some folks loose through the whole process, but that

really takes gumption. You don't really have to go hungry if you can be a little creative.

There are recipes on this site and a bunch on Google to make this time a little less boring.

The real problem is that you can't just grab a hunk of cheese or a donut whenever you

want and still lose weight. It's going to be Protein Drinks, Crystal light, chicken Boullion,and

and things like that. If I can give up pizza and beer, you can too. It really isn't too bad, it

just seems so while you're going through it. A lot of people set small goals, then another

and so on and in a year or so they'll be down 100 lbs or so. Make up your mind to succeed,

and you will.

      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!
