Banjo, I would love to be your friend and thank you for asking.

Tomorrow I start my preop Protein Meal Replacements. I've written out my food dairy tonight and that's what I'll follow. My doc is a strict on getting in 5 Meal Replacements and at least 48 additional liquids.

I'm pumped and planned to keep my life as low key as possible. I know if I do not follow the docs plan he will not do surgery. That's an insentive and I am so ready to get on with this.

Your day will be coming soon.....I'll keep you posted. Blessings to you, Banjo. Effie

Hey guys, I'm nearing the end of day 2 on my preop diet. I've been baking cookie bars for my church's bake sale and fixed my hubby a nice meal.....did fine with the help of vicks save under my nose. I could not smell the goodies. I think I had an out of body experience when I go look but not smell ! Anyhow it helped me. Might help one of you as well. Nite nite .....Effie

      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!
