From one Gary to Gary, you will do fine. The eating habits you learn on the pre op will reward you after surgery. Find the things you like now, so that you can revisit them when you have those times, when the needle on the scale gets stuck.

This might be a dumb question, but on the pre-op diet since you are allowed to have as much broth as you want, do any of you think that egg drop Soup would be okay. It is mostly broth with just a little bit of egg in it. Or even buy the packet to make it and don't put the egg in it. I bought some packets of broth that are sodium free and they aren't too easy to get down.

Gary,

I work at a hospital and when it was lunchtime I AVoided the all together . We have an outdoor sitting are up by ICU and I would go up there and drink my shake. That was the only way I could do it at work ..good luck- you can do it!

Day 1 - 3 shakes and a meal. Missed 1 shake was suppose 2 have 4 shakes. Still working on the last 16oz of Water. Small headache but doing OK. Not hungry' date=' which os good.[/quote']

My preop diet was three shakes a day and Water and that was it. By the second day I had a headache and was nauseated so I just went to bed after work. The old saying goes "this too shall pass" at least there was an end in sight! It's flipping your body into a metabolic state that will aid in jump starting your eating and helping to shrink fat around your liver to make your surgery easier. Good luck-you can do it!

That's because you have dropped your carb intake significantly! Great job!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
