Finished Week 1 Of Pre-Op Diet And Down 13Lbs!



Recommended Posts

Yay!

A rogue 24 hour stomach bug and my super busy job keeping me from thinking about food all day has played a huge part in this, but I'm still feeling good about it. I'm starting to feel like I can truly handle life post-sleeve. I'm back in control of my eating, and I can live just fine without munching on junk all the time. I still need the sleeve to help keep me on course, but I'm ready to do my part, too.

One week from today I'll be fresh out of surgery, in the hospital, and ready to continue my new found reign over poor eating habits. Ready to get back to the gym. Ready to start caring about how I look again. Ready to be a participant in my family and not just an observer anymore.

Tomorrow I pre-register at the hospital, cough up the dough (self-pay), and have my consultation with the nutritionist to talk about post-op diet. This crap is getting real!

Congrats. My surgery is also next Monday. After the first week of pre op for me I am down 16 lbs but I have stalled for the last 3 days between 5 lbs

You're doing great. The stalls are your body rearranging things with the new space it has. It will start dropping again. Congrats on your surgery date ! :D

      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.

      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!
