Your surgeon should have given you specific instructions on what to eat. At least two days before you must be on Clear liquids (chicken or beef broth, sugar free Jello, Popsicles, and crystal light). Before that start on what you will be eating six months after surgery. Focusing mainly on Protein (my goal is 80 grams) and nothing with more than 6grams of sugar unless its from a natural food like fruit, vegetables, or dairy.

Good luck! When's your surgery?

Mine is on Friday! I'm in the liquid phase now. But my surgeon had me do a meal supplement called Optifast for two weeks before surgery! It's been kicking my butt!

      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!
