To Make Things A Little Easier.

Before surgery I lived on mio fruit punch. Havent tried it yet. Also they have some new flavors like tangerine and blueberry lemonade. I really like I ocean spray sugar free packets which aren't at all the local stores but the white cran peach is great! You can try cucumber Water, and as soon as I'm allowed green tea again I will be drinking lots of that...you know turkey hill makes all kinds of great diet teas!

But as soon as I get to lovin one TH's teas they deem it seasonal and take it away from me:( They took my diet chai (that addiction was hard to get over) and then the diet blueberry tea (though my son says that one is back)! I'll have to stop and check before I go to work Friday as well as grabbing some Mio.

I was the same way! In fact I never felt thirsty before surgery but now, I carry ice Water with me at all times.

I hope I am like that. I grew up on soda.....never drank milk or Water but koolaid and soda. That is so my biggest vice. Fortunately I recognized that before I had kids. They all three love milk and choose water oaver just about any beverage. But I never allowed them to have soda til they were older and only on special occassions.

I will drink water but only at certain times. I'm looking forward to the money I will save from not drinking soda.

How soon prior to surgery (besides the obvious NOW) is recommended to stop? I cut soda completely out of my diet a few yrs ago & lost a good bit of weight. But when I began drinking it again it piled back on...no surprise.

Soda makes my belly grow. I stop 1 month before surgery.

Then I guess I need to do the obvious and stop now. I am beginning all of my preop testing and was told I could possibly have surgery by mid August. I am going to go ahead and start on the preop diet so that it isn't a delay.

Yes you should plus soda isn't healthy even for skinny people.

I switched to diet pop 3 weeks pre op and had my last can the day before surgery I was a coca-cola addict I drank 6-8 cans a day. I thought that was gonna be the hardest thing to kick. I've only craved it once in the last 5 weeks. I love my iced green tea now. Took a sip of my husband's RC cola the other day (my 2nd choice favorite pop) and it tasted horribly sweet. I'm so happy I had this surgery

      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!
