Hi,

I wont lie it hasn't been the easiest thing I have ever done, but each day is better than the last. I am on day 9 of the diet and have 7 more days. (i started a day or two early to make sure I could drink those Protein drinks)

The first 3 days were rough!! had a head ache, very weak and just felt awfull.....but I just commented to my husband yesterday as we were walking through Walmart that I felt like I had a little more spring in my step. I guess its the 17 pounds I have lost (7 on the pre-op diet). Just that little bit seems to have made a difference.

Hang in there.....one member (Xavier) put it best..... This is the last diet you will ever be on!!

My date is the 22nd, I'm starting my liquid diet tomorrow. I also got the muti-vitamins. But I do have a question, are we allowed coffee?

My doctor said 1 cup...with stevia sweetner, no Creamer.< /p>

However..... I made a coffee latte out of mine. So I could get the Protein in.

1 scoop Protein power

4 oz coffee (chilled)

3 oz skim milk

1/2 oz sf vanilla Syrup

1/2 oz sf caramel syrup

6-7 ice cubes

blend and enjoy. 140calories/ 15 proteins/ 3 carbs

      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.

      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!
