Today marks one month until surgery. I am wanting to use this time to prepare for what I will need during and after surgery. What are the things I should buy now to help during post-op?

Honestly, I lived of flavored Water and Protein drinks. As soon as I could, i was on yogurt and refried Beans. chicken broth to thin everything. I also put split pea and brocolli and cheese Soup in the blender and then warmed them up. I found I could barely stand Protein...except for unjury. I couldn't stand the chicken Soup one. ugh. It still makes me feel ill. Cream of wheat and eggs made me ill. i can now eat eggs.< /p>

My tastes changed so dramatically. The best thing though....I've had head hunger...But I have not actually been hungry since surgery.

I haven't had surgery yet, but I'm sticking up on G2 Gatorade, crystal Light so I can get my fluids in if plain Water isn't agreeing with me. Also sugar free Jello. For my puréed stage, I've got Greek yogurt. Soy milk for Protein Shakes, and a couple Protein powders that I like now (who knows what I'll like after). And water.

I went overboard and bought too much lI ended up going out or sending people for stuff I could stand. Anyone want 36 cups of sugar free jellio?

      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?
