Hi Laura,

Wow, April 1 is coming up fast! Are you on preop diet? Mine is April 4. I feel all I do is sit on the computer and read to prepare for everything because my nerves are starting to kick in a little bit, but in a good way ;) .

Congrats on your upcoming surgery!!

I start my pre-op diet on Sunday. 4 shakes per day and clear liquid for one week. I just bought a kitchen ninja pulse for my smoothies. it makes them go down easier. I also went to pier 1 and got some cute tasting dishes. they are just the right portion.

Does the ninja really work well? - we look at it every time we go into the store. lol But we didn't know anyone who had one. I want to get some cute tasting dishes too. I didn't even think about checking pier 1. And I was thinking about getting the kids set of spoons and forks. I heard that having smaller utensils makes it easier to get used to taking smaller bites.

I got a Ninja too for myself. Tried it out by making the kids slushies and it turned great. Did you find a good Protein Drink that you liked?

Hello!! I am scheduled for April 11. I started my preop diet (60 gm of Protein via shakes and Clear Liquids only) yesterday. I have had all of my preop visits and blood work. I meet with anesthesologist on April 10. I think my nerves have kicked in, too. This is becoming REAL ... very quickly :)

Hi Waistnaway,

I'm glad you made it to the group :D . I know exactly how you feel. There are a lot of us going through the same things as the same time, which makes it really nice for the added support. So you are on liquids for 2 weeks? I am on a low-fat Atkins diet. I started on Wednesday. I feel better already.

I'm glad I made it, too :) I discovered that when I try to view the group from my IPad It tells me that I have to have a password but on the PC.. it doesn't. Must be something with the app.

Yes, I am on liquids only. I just got creative and added some fruity flavored unjury Protein packets to Jello. Will let you know how that experiment turns out. I have never been a milk drinker or an ice cream eater so it is difficult to drink the milk type Protein Drinks. I have no problem getting my 64oz of other fluids in during the day. I easily drink more than that in a day. At least dehydration won't be an issue for 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?

        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!
