I haven't started it I was told just liquids 2 days before surgery. I also got a call today that they need to reschedule. Hopefully it will be bumped up to next week otherwise they said may 6th. I have waited 6 months already so I'm hoping its not pushed back to may.

That's got to be frustrating. I hope it's moved up for you, too...less time to get nervous!

We have to think positive!

As long as we follow the Dr's orders we will do great.

I have no kids so I can only imagine what you are thinking but stay positive and know your doing this for a better life ;-)

3 more days. So ready for this. Not nervous at all. Only had to do 5 days of pre op liquid and am able to have veggies and yogurt. Feel very fortunate about that. Stocked up on muscle milk shakes as 20 grams of Protein in each shake. Got my Vitamins and am registered at the hospital. Tuesday can't come soon enough. HUGE thank u to this forum. It's been the best support system ever.

I had my surgery a week ago wednesday and the only word of advice is my diet plan said to wait 7 days before starting Protein and that was big mistake because by that time i was real weak. I dont regret having this cause i know in the long run it will work out, 20 lbs down so far!!

      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!
