So sorry sleevage.....hang in there girl. We've got less than a week away til our big day. Just think, it'll all be worth it. I'm going through some major anxiety myself. We'll soon be on the other side of the sleeveed world!

Day 4 was the worst, it got so much better each day! Hang in there it almost done. I'm getting sleeves today and I'm definitely excited for a few days away from those shakes lol.

Wow, I suppose I should feel lucky. I have no pre-op diet. Surgery is on Sep. 9th. Only requirement is Clear Liquids 24 hours before surgery. I'm not going food crazy but do you guys think I should stop eating solids more than 24 hours prior? My doctor is not concerned with weight loss before surgery. He says at my BMI it's not really necessary. What do you guys suggest?

the MAIN reason they told me about the 10 day pre-op diet was to shrink your liver so it doesn't be so bloated and get in the way of surgery, so in reality, I look at it as making it easier for the surgeon, and easier for myself afterwards because i'll be used to the liquids. (Frankly anything I can do to make the surgery more successful for him is a no brainer for me!)

I went 6 days and broke down and had some lowfat popcorn and half a Cereal bar. It was a moment if weakness the day before my surgery. That said, it only take 4-6 hrs for the food to move out of the stomach.

I am on day 2 of liquids.... My favorite thing so far is Designer whey I got it at target on sale, its a 4 pack and its the best tasting so far. It has been tough and I had 2 dreams last night that I ate solid food and I was so upset with myself... then woke up and realized "No, u didn't! Ur still good!" lol... its hard!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
