Me too!! I already have my diet list for after surgery so I need to stock up on all those items. I have to start a clear liquid diet three days before surgery which I am not looking forward to but it beats two weeks of Protein shakes.

I'm a little behind you all. I am August 28th. I go Monday to meet with my surgeon for pre-op meeting then start my liquid diet on Wednesday. I'm so ready, I wish it were tomorrow!

Weirdest thing... I was told by my surgeon's nurse that I don't have to do a bowel prep. Just two tablespoons of milk of magnesia two days before surgery and again one day before. Anyone else given these instructions? Once I start the MOM no solid foods though.

My doctor is making me do three days of Clear liquids instead of the MOM. So I start that on the 18th.

      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!
