  • My kitchen is much cleaner now that I'm on the pre-op liquid diet phase
  • My manicure is lasting longer since I'm not washing dishes
  • I'm hoping that I can hurry up and start losing quickly so I don't have to Iron the clothing hanging near my iron . . .it's growing by leaps and bounds

Oh, and the refrigerator is spotless! Sometimes it's the little things that cause pleasure . . especially on a pre-op liquid diet :)

My grocery bill is so much cheaper, too! And if I eat out, I have an extra 5+ meals to help get me through week. I don't have to buy new clothes because everything is too tight, instead I just pull the smaller clothes out from storage, and buy new if I want to, not cause I have to. I'm having fun experimenting with new recipes. I have more energy. I have more motivation to exercise. My skin looks better. My hair looks better. Everything is better now since the surgery. :-)

Some of these things last well past the preop phase, too. There are still far less dishes to wash in my house. My refrigerator is never overloaded and cluttered (unless I'm catering an event or entertaining, anyway) and tends to stay nice and clean.

And I never Iron. Ever. It was one of the rules before I married my husband. He can iron or he can pay someone else to do it for him, but I never, ever iron. :)

      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!
