Cant Drink Enough! Help

Ice and ice Water was my saving grace. I did start with lots of bullion cube meals, chicken & beef, but it gets old fast. I began using my food processor to make shaved ice, and that filled a great need for liquids. I picked up regular and SF syrups at Smart-n-Final, and that made for a treat. Especially in the sweltering Valley summer. Yeah for shaved ice!!!

Best of luck with your 9/5 surgery. Golden information waiting here for you. Two words: Shaved Ice. It's a life saver after surgery. Helps with liquid intake, and it's crunchy like eating food. Looking forward to your posts...

Awesome, Ray. Yes, I am soaking up some sage advice already and plan to have my NINJA whirling away when I get home. I just googled the Quest bars that some one suggested and found a distributor near my house. I am all set with flavored & unflavored Protein powders, crystal light, propel, add infinitum, etc! LOL. Just 2-days and a wake-up call and I'm there! It's taken a year to get this far, but I feel really prepared and informed so it was worth it! I'm in So. Cal. Thanks for yor reply, Diane.

      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!
