I'm new to this group and don't really know what I'm doing. I am scheduled for surgery May 29th and I am very excited. I am currently doing my pre-surgery diet. My weight today is 267 but my highest weight was 290. I am only 5 feet tall so I need to get this weight off. Being overweight has been a life long struggle for me. I look forward to being a better healthier version of me. If anyone wants to be friends or and support each other in this adventure I'm in. :-)

Welcome! I'm on day 6 of my 2 week preop diet. I'm just now getting to the point where I'm not miserable most of the day - I have my moments. And I've learned to appreciate chicken broth.< /p>

Welcome to the neighborhood newbie :)

we all have our different features - tall, short, loud or quiet

but.............our common denominator is our weight, past, present and future

we all have had our weight issues

we 99.9%/most of the times are very supportive, especially to nice people like you ^_^

"we've" walked in your shoes, sometimes tripping, but we tie our shoes and stand up again :lol:

ask away with all your questions!!!! :)

WLS one week from wednesday???

holy moly, stay calm - little nerves are perfectably understandable

take care

happy WLS

speedy recovery

      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!
