January Dates



Recommended Posts

Hi all! My name is Katie and I just heard about this great app! I am 26 and live outside of Philly. I am scheduled for RNY on January 10th (yikes!) I am on day 10 of the liquid diet, it's been a struggle but I am making it through. I have to say my insurance approval was so quick and easy. I was approved within a week of meeting with my doctor. I was a little skeptical at first since I heard of how long it took for so many others.

I am anxious, scared, nervous and excited all at once. Of course I hear the horror stories and somehow in my mind it outweighs the great successes I hear about. I am lucky to have my husband by my side and then following my surgery my husband will also have the surgery a few weeks later. It's nice to have someone to go through it with!

My surgery is tomorrow at 11 a.m. so anxious and getting stuff together and ready for when I come home. I have been on the liquid diet for 9 days and I dont feel hungry anymore. I havent cheated but I feel like I havent lost as much weight as I should have. 8 lbs since 12/28, seems great in theory but i am terrified the dr will to open. Anyone else experience this?

After 10 days on the liquid diet I broke down tonight and had a piece of chocolate. I have my monthly visitor and honestly couldn't stop thinking about it. I know I shouldn't have but I did Hopefully my liver won't be affected.

I didn't lose much on liquids either. I lost 7 lbs only had a 10day liquid diet. Remember the only purpose of the pre op liquid diet is so that your liver shrinks some so that its not in the way. So it's ok if you didn't lose a lot of weight.i weighed myself before leaving for surgery, cuz at the hospital they didn't weigh me. That is the only reason I know my pre op weight.

No it won't affect you. Now if you didn't follow the diet every day and you didn't lose a pound then that's another story.

      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!
