Recommended Posts

Hi, All!

I had my pre-op yesterday. So looking forward to this...

He said he expects me to be at goal within 10-11 months. I am ecstatic!

I got all the pre- and post-op instructions as well. Pre-op for a week. Post-op is Clear Liquids for days 1-3, add Protein Shakes for days 4-7, then pureed foods for weeks 2-4. After that, it's slowly adding in other foods.

You are the day before me! I'm November 9th. I don't have to do a pre op diet, but i'm doing one any way. I'm on day 3. I get a little irritated around 7pm and I do find myself just thinking about food for no apparent reason! Counting the days down!!!

Wow we have three weeks to go ! Thats a long time to do the pre op diet ! Wishing you well

I think we are all nervous BG but know that your thoughts are shared with most here, even the one who may have had surgery before. However I will pray that you will know comfort. Be blessed sir and I cant wait to see you on the other side!!!

      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!
