I have two weeks also, I'm on 3 shakes a day with a low fat high Protein dinner. It honestly hasn't been that bad. I keep myself distracted with tedious crafts or planning in my down time. I've also been going to bed earlier to keep my self from late night snacking. This is nothing compared to how I was when I quit smoking. That was a nightmare on wheels.

Wow, so many have to do the two week pre op diet? I only have to diet 3 days before surgery??? Just goes to show how different doctors are. Still trying to decide what i want my last meal to be...

Love being home! I feel pretty great! I had a rough time right after surgery- kept throwing up- but since there was nothing to throw up it was dry heaves/convulsions. Several IV's of Zofran, nausea patch and everything they could give me- the nausea finally subsided! They kept me one night extra in the hospital but I was released today! I've managed to walk off most of the has pains and the gas ex strips that you let melt on your tongue have been awesome! My incisions are starting to itch but other than that I feel awesome!! I've been drinking (sipping) on my Isopure and Water and was completely full after eating 1/4 of a slice of cheese!

So glad you are home safe and sound. That must feel really weird being full on such a small amount. Walk and sip, walk and sip, walk and sip.....

Mine was all liquids too, and it was really tough!! I did have a few bites of food though. Out of all 14 days, I had about 3 bites of chicken and a few shrimp, and a piece of deli turkey. I was STARVING! You are lucky you get to have real food during your pre-op. Best of luck :-)

Eeep, that has gotta suck. But It's only for two weeks, then it'll be surgery time. I'm so excited I can't stand it! 10 more days. :)

Just do as your surgeon directed, and everything should be okay. :)

How are you doing Wendilou? Are you managing postop okay? I have been thinking about you because I haven't seen you post lately.

Thanks for asking, Mel! I'm really doing very well. I was able to stop taking my pain meds yesterday. I still have a tiny amount of abdominal discomfort, but it's very manageable. I am struggling with the clear liquid diet though. I am so sick of broth!!! And I have another week to go on clears unfortunately. I have no trouble drinking my 64 oz. daily though.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
