Dear Pinkeez,

Congrats!! The preop diet takes some getting used to.... I have this Protein Powder from my Doc called Chike. It is THE BEST tasting shake I've ever had! I just shake it up in my blender bottle....

We are going to do FANTASTICALLY!!! Keep your spirits up, we are on a rewarding journey. This is my third day of preop diet, and am already down 8 pounds. Have a great day.

Luv,

EpicBunny <3

Hi, I have my surgery scheduled for June 26. I am both nervous and excited! I have my final weigh in on Monday the 17th, but there has been no mention of a preop diet so far. Guess I will find out then!

Hi June sleevers, I am also the 25th. Hopefully, I had preop testing and was found to be very anemic. So now I'm worried about how did I get this way. Now have a heart murmur, it may be due to anemia. Otherwise besides the very large paraesophogeal hernia. Things are going good. already lost my 10% and started my preop diet. I would like to ask for everyones prayers. Thank you.

Congrats to all the recent sleevers. Our journey begins now. My surgery went well and recovery is going great. I do admit that it is difficult to get all the fluids in when you are NOT hungry.

Oh my gosh you sound like me exactly! I had an Iron infusion a little over a month ago and last week they found that I have an irregular heartbeat so I am not cleared yet. I have an echo on Monday. They also found on my EGD that I have a hiatal hernia. I am thankfully down quite a few from my high and hope the preop takes more away! Good luck and I will have you in my prayers!

That will continue while your stomach is healing. Just keep taking it slow and sip, sip, sip!

I'm 2 days out and so far I haven't had problems with anything. Orange Isopure tastes the best.

Not so much with Water, but I did have some awkwardness with Jello and broth. Nothing terrible, just a little odd feeling.

      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!
