I feel for you! The 2 week all liquid diet prior to surgery is HECK. Especially since there is nothing physically holding you back from eating. (trust me after surgery you'll be forcing liquids) All you have to rely on is your sheer will power. And I was always thinking "like HELLO if I had will power I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. You just have to keep reminding yourself how important it is for the overall outcome of the surgery. I know food is tempting but if the surgeon feels like you weren't adhering to your diet he could cancel and postpone your surgery. My surgeon thought about it because I was suppose to lose 20lbs and I only lost 10lbs. Just remember the last thing you want is complications. YOU CAN DO IT! Keep up the good work...and congrats :)

For those who are having trouble with just 2 weeks of a liquid diet.....I was on a liquid diet supervised by a doctor when I lived in California for 8 months. It was hard but then I was looking at my health and weight loss. I lost over 80 pounds on this liquid diet and at that time I have 3 choices.....vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Since that time the Protein shakes have come a long way and are much better now. If you can not make it on a 2 week liquid diet then you are in for a big surprise after you have your WLS. This is a life change and not a quick fix. You will still have to say not to foods that are not good for you. This will not control the food that you put into your mouth.

Remember that you are doing this for your health and a longer life. So really what is 2 weeks.

      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!
