June 10th for this guy. Getting excited and nervous. Think it is going to be a long week and a half.

1 week 4 day. I'm excited any yet my stomach ties itself in knots when I think about how soon it is. I still don't believe it. Lol

OK. I go to surgery 6-4 (as I already said). Am over a week into the 2 week 'Optifast' which is going well. Not body hungry at all; that ended after the 3rd or 4th day. Some head hunger, but so what, just will muddle through that!? Have participated in family & social activities without much 'food longing'. Am a bit more tired than before and "quiet". Not 'crabby', just quiet.

Talked to nurses yesterday. One from the hospital going over meds and supplements, medical history, experience with anesthesia, what to bring to hospital, who will be taking me home, etc. Other from surgeon's office confirming after discharge Rx . Will continue Prilosec for 6 months and need to take Lovenox shots for a month. Both nurses were very nice. As of now I report to the hospital at 8:00AM, but that might change and the final time will be confirmed on Monday, June 3rd.

Will keep calm and carry on!

I know I have been in here saying I have done the liquid protien shake diet before with my lap band, and it gets easier as you move through it. However, day three and I are not friends. I feel weak as heck, and I was only 30 minutes late with my second shake today and truly thought I was going to pass out while caring for a patient earlier today. So was I wrong? Obviously day three is not the magic day. What day did you start to feel better on your pre-op diet? It kind of scares me because I have the 2 week pre-op diet, then after surgery it is a month of liquids, followed by a month of purée, then a month of soft foods until I reach normal foods after that.

I guess everyone's body takes it different because for me I was scare to start this diet but I'm on day five and everything has been good no problems at all. I'm just hoping I'm not just a late starter.

      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!
