Is everyone exercising with the shakes? I'm so exhausted....I haven't been. Probably why I've only lost 12 pounds....

Mine is not a full liquid diet, but shakes for

Breakfast and lunch and then Protein and veggie (low fat, low carb) for dinner. I started Monday and I'm on it for two weeks. liquids only the day before Surgery.

I am sitting on pins and needles just staring at the phone at times wishing it would ring and I would have an answer from the insurance company! I am so ready to have a date! Did anyone call to see where the insurance company was in the process? Is it worth it? Will it move them along quicker?

I didn't call as often as I wanted to, and it turns out people didn't have the right paperwork. Who

Knows how long it would've taken if I hadn't called and brought it to their attention. My paperwork could've been submitted two weeks earlier than it was. Keep calling!!

I found that to be the case the first time I called. My program had changed in the new year and I had to back track to do a couple of extra things. I think I will find the number and call today. Thanks for the encouragement! I am so excited to go forward and start the new me!

Heading to my last weigh in today. Then everything gets submitted to insurance. Hoping for a quick answer, so surgery can get moved up! Been off from work with severe back and leg pain. Off all of Feb., went back for two weeks and off again. Pain management doctor has nothing else for me at this point, because nothing is working. I want to get this process moving ASAP. The sooner I lose the weight, the sooner I can get my back fixed. Then maybe i can actually LIVE my life! Fingers crossed!

      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!
