I Need A Buddy/mentor

Goodness. 6 weeks. Makes the two before and one after not seem so bad. I'm trying to convince myself to do 3 weeks before. You are giving me inspiration!

Apparently I don't check my updates section enough when I've been working. I just now saw all of this.

Thanks for asking wonderful questions Lovebug, and thanks for answering Smiley!

I still need to go and get my Biotin.< /p>

I made a turkey dinner last night and made turkey broth for the stuffing. The extra broth I froze to use on the liquid phase. I'm getting anxious to start on a liquid diet as I've never been able to stick to one. I get dizzy, cranky, and semi lethargic. I'm going to try my hardest though. Who knows, maybe my surgeon won't require a 2 week pre liquid diet..... Yeah right.

Wow I just don't remember 2 week liquid diet, I forgot why Biotin?

I've been doing the liquid diet for 3 days, yes it's tough but just keep your eyes on the prize! Keep thinking too that your shrinking your liver which is a GOOD thing. I've got to do 2 wks prior to surgery and 4 wks after.....already looking forward to 6 wks for the mushies! LOL

Spring is coming God Bless you Two! Just keep busy Spring is almost here!! I forget can you do your Protein during this phase? One thing good to know this is just a very small phase of your wonderful New Journey- 2 years out 150 pounds less, I can't even remember this part of the stage .. Stay Focused Girls.

Sad thing is I felt so cute in that top, I was at the CMA festival, struggling so much with pain in my knees, back, etc.. huffing and puffing trying to keep up with my family

      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!
