Yes I weaned off the caffeine and started this week replacing one meal with Protein Shake and next week trying for two. Thought that would make the two weeks a little easier. I hope!

I am also really nervous about the pre-op diet. I have to be on it for 9 days. I've heard the first couple of days are the hardest and once you get over that it's a breeze. ;)

Getting closer! I start per-op diet tomorrow, hope it goes well. I have a lot of activities planned for tomorrow to help keep me busy. How's it going for all of you?

I start on Monday. Trying to ease into in this weekend. So nervous you guys! I'm an emotional roller coaster! Happy- nervous- scared- disbelief. You name it, I feel it. I'm just trying to stay focused. :)

I hope You all are all doing ok on pre-op. I just tried something that's pretty good. I mixed about 4 oz V8 ( low sodium) with about 8 oz chicken broth. It was decent and something different.

How many Protein Shakes are you on? My Dr. Has me doing 5 and I'm having a hard time fitting them in. I ended up doing my last two together last night.

      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!
