Today is my 7th day on the liquid diet. I'm down 12lbs. I found the Swanson's broth (Chicken' date='Beef, Vegetable) to be really gross. I've been making Campbell's chicken Noodle Soup and straining the noodles. The first few days I was drinking 4-5 shakes a day and now I'm down to 2-3. I am not really a fan of SF Water flavorings but I found Crystal Lite Pink Lemonade to be good.[/quote']

I wish I could do Campbell's instead of broth. My NUT wouldn't let me. :(

How is everyone doing on pre-op? Today is my 7th day...it is much easier now then before. I have to work harder to get ALL the drinks down...I'm on New Direction Weight Control System packets along with sf Jello, popsicles etc. I'm so worried...I was in a situation where someone brought food for me to eat surprisingly (they, along with most everyone else doesn't know I'm having the surgery). I had a very very small bite of what they brought so it seemed that I ate. I really hope those two - three small bites don't cause my surgery to be postponed....thoughts? Think it will be ok? It was back on day 3 or 4. Other than that I think I'm doing pretty good, getting in lots of water-that seems to be key in loosing the weight...9 lbs down this week!

I'm on day 11 and when I weighed in on Tuesday, I was down 8.4 pounds (actually). I'm on a Protein diet with a shake for Breakfast and lunch, one Protein Bar and one fruit a day, and then a senisble dinner. What I was doing if I got to hungry doing the day, I would alternate my meals and have the shake for dinner instead. Good luck to you on your surgery!!!1

My surgery is December 20th as well! I'm having mine at St. Alexian Brothers in Elk Grove Village, IL. Excited and scared as hell! I'm down 16.5 pounds as of this morning. Not doing too well with the bariatric drinks - Okay, they SUCK! I hate them! Basically living off Jello, popsicles and broth. Promised my doc I'd try to get in at least two shakes a day.

Well I received a call today from my surgeons office and they have moved my surgery up to Tuesday, December 18! Very stressful because I don't like change on major things! I know it is all part of God's plan though!

@bgeb You have my thoughts and prayers and positive vibes for tomorrow! Everything will go well.

@CG75 It's never fun when they change things, but I'm sure your surgeon wouldn't have done it if he didn't think you were ready and able to handle it. ^_^

Hello all. My date is December 19th, so 5 days to go. Good luck to everyone!

      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!
