You guys are lucky that you were able to eat solid good for your pre-op diet.I was told a all liquid diet of 3 adkins shakes, 2 high Protein slim fast shakes,Clear chicken broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free popsicles limit 2.That was my daily meal everyday for 2 weeks!800 calories a day it came out to!I didn't cheat at all.First week was hard cooking for my family and smelling the food.And by second week the food smelled gross!But i did it and lost 19 lbs in 2 weeks before my surgery.Different doctors different diets i guess.My other option was the medifast diet.I couldnt afford $700 for 2 weeks of food.My family would of starved!Lol

$700?? I paid $188 for 2 weeks worth of medifast /healthwise. It tasted and looked like dog food, except like 3 things. I still have a lot of or left. Your preop diet sucked! Lol

      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!
