I think the two week liquid diet will be worse than the surgery itself, but I'll survive...

My nut told me I didn't have to do the liquid diet bc my liver was already small but I'm thinking if I should just do it anyway to get use to it .

I've got two weeks on the per Optifast diet. Not looking forward to it. I have a feeling that I may b a raving lunatic dying this time so I have warned everyone around me! I told my husband that he was only allowed to eat things I didn't like during this time.

Hahaha

I've got two weeks on HMR. I have started replacing some meals with shakes to get used to it. So far I've been a like shaky and it has got me worried for when I'm on full liquids.< /p>

Have any of you been told that it was important to keep up your Fiber while on Meal Replacements? My dietician told me to take benefiber during this time as not to get constipated.

I've found in the past when I've done the shake diets I tend to use the bathroom more. But that might be because I was eating a full main meal at night.

What are some of your experiences?

I have not heard about increasing fiber, but I will ask in the morning.

I have my big pre-op appointment in the morning with my surgeon and nut. I am nervous, and hoping I get good news. Surgery is less than a month away!

I called today to get the ball rolling on my complication insurance, since I will be having surgery out of the country and my health insurance excludes WLS. Not scared yet, just excited. However, what will happen is that I will be TERRIFIED on surgery day!!!

My surgery date is August 6th as long as insurance approval goes through. I start my two week liquid diet Juky 23rd, I will be having a light and fit dannon greek vanill ayogurt for Breakfast, a eas Protein Shake for lunch and am allowed a lean meat and small salad for dinner. Only thing that sucks about having surgery early August is NO SWIMMING,,with2 small children this might be difficult..but a small price to pay for health..I too have a busy August but this was the only date that would work for me. Hopefully we can all keep eachother posted on our after surgery progress. Oh and my pcp called today after some blood work and told me I have High Triglyerides.. Surgery couldnt have come at a better time! Bring it on!

      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!
