Hang in there. It's 7 days left of the diet. You can do this, and you need to do this! I know it's tough - I'm finishing my diet as of tomorrow, for surgery on Tuesday, so I definitely know how tough it is.

That said, what makes you say that you are failing the diet? What is your diet plan, and where are you deviating?

Hey Triple... what kind of diet are you on? I was sleeved on June 24th &I had to do a 2 week low carb diet. It was hard but the last 2 days I only did my protien shakes with almond shakes & drank a bottle of magnesium citrate. I wanted to be sure my liver was shrunk enough. I did cheat that first week by pigging out on a pint fried rice. I ended up losing only 3 pounds that first week, then 10 the second week for a total of 13!!! Ask me any qeustions you want , & I will try to help you! ;)

'shrinking the liver' helps your surgeon who is trying to help you. Try HARD to be strict for the next week. Remember you will have to make BIG changes with the sleeve, just start now!

Triple H I too have only 7 days 6 from today. The reduction thing is a challenge I agree especially with a family. What i did a couple of times was one night I went to bed early to be good and during the day I left the house kept busy. I find work days are easier for me no time to eat or think about food too busy.

That's great ! So helps so much. Better to get use to thw diet cuz it will be tough after the sleeve when there is NO choice BUT to do the diet. You will look back and feel accomplished & successful for sure! Keep going! This is for YOU!! (High five and fist bump!)

I went to a support group meeting where I live and was told there is a book out the title. Emotional First Aid Kit written by author Cynthia Alexander PSJD. It is supposed to help with the transition. I plan to purchase along with 1-2 bariatric cookbooks to help me.

You are so right! I'm now in recovery at my Mom's house...nothing to do but take a walk, sip Water and watch TV! I'm so ready to be back at work (well sort of :unsure: ) so that I'll have my mind busy!

      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!
