The hospital call me yesterday to pre register me. Woohoo and today I officially start the 2 week preop diet. I started early though and lost a few to keep the stress off. This to me I think is going to be the real challenge. Lol

It's the countdown girl ! Woo hoo !! New life...

You got this! I went through my phases too of wanting to just give in but I did it. In regards to hunger, I'm starting to be hungry now. However, I'm following the strict diet Dr. Hollis has for post-op because I don't want anything to go wrong. :) So far, so good. Right now I'm in my 2nd week and on thicker liquids. Not too bad. I was told I look healthier this week than last week. Uh yeah, because last week all I could have is beef or chicken broth and juice!

That's great you are doing so well. It's like when you know you dieting its hard but if I was not on it I know I wouldn't be hungry. It's crazy. So you should be due for a fill if your starting to fill hungry right? How much weight you've lost?

I am doing pretty good now on my pre-op. Its not like I over eat or eat all day but when that hunger hit its crazy. I guess I never been really hungry because since this its like I am hungry all freakin day. But I did do well today. I cant wait to get to that feeling with the band where those hunger pains go away. lol I need to change my ticker to I still have surgery date set for the 10th. Have you got a fill yet?

      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!
