Just finished my last day at work



Recommended Posts

I just finished my last day at work, I start my leave of absence on the 4th. Surgery is on the 6th I am excited, but this Pre-Op diet is killing me. Does anyone have any suggestions for some way to liven it up little bit?

That depends on what your pre-op diet is, I suppose. There are lots of different kinds, and some people get to eat food while others... not so much. Mine was two weeks of BA shakes with fruit and a little veggie once a day.

Torani sugar free syrups, dry sugar free puddings, adding milk or almond milk for extra flavor, ice and blend like a smoothie. Just some suggestions for what worked for me.

Wow, I've never heard of that before. Only milk? o.O I mean, I love some dairy, but I dunno if I'd love 8 weeks of it.

So sorry to laugh at your misery....but that was funny! Try getting different colored sunglasses like rose color and maybe you will think you're drinking strawberry milk? I can't imagine drinking milk for so long! You're my hero! I have no doubt you will be one of the super successful sleevers!

thank you, one of the reasons im on the 8 week milk diet is I have very low cholesterol and they need to build it up as the surgeon says its worse than high and they would be afraid of liver damage, 1 week gone so just 7 more to go, now where are those sunglasses lol lol

      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!
