I am on my pre-op diet, since 2 days and I m already feeling deprived. Does this appetite attack continue even after surgery? Because technically the grehlin part of the stomach will be functional even after the surgery. What are ur experiences? How do u deal with such situation?Scheduled for plication on 14 jun.

What Pre- op plan are you on and for how long? After the surgery (I hear) you will be full easily but will be hungry again every 2-3 hours. I plan on surgery early fall.

I am a vegetarian and am on a general Soup diet. They said pre-op diet wasn't mandatory in my case(dunno why). I m just being careful. My favourite soup is a mix veg(bottle gourd, Tomato, spinach, cabbage); just give it a whistle in a pressure cooker and grind everything in mixer (no straining), and add a little black pepper pwd and some KCl( a type of salt we call 'sendha namak' which flushes out unhealthy toxins from our tissues and helps detoxing the liver). Occasionally, I take some cucumber or bottle gourd juice, lemon-honey Water and green tea and cooked pulses.

I had plication May 29. I'm sure I probably still have swelling, but I'm not very hungry. I get full after a small amount and I'm not hungry again for at least 3 hours or more.

I'm 2 weeks post op banded plication. So, I'm still new and healing. I decided to do the procedure because the early research shows promising results, but of course the procedure is still new. I'm hopeful to have early weight loss from the plication and then use the band to supplement when/if weight loss slows down. Started out highest last month at BMI 36 and now I'm BMI 33. I'm on soft foods for another 2 weeks (yogurt, tuna salad, cottage cheese, Soup, etc). I go back to the doctor at the end of the month. I'm feeling good and just trying not to weigh myself too much!

I am on the pre-op diet my doctor has prescribed and it has been tough at times but this is a long term commitment and I am ready. I can do anything for two weeks..:) I am 8 days in and I have lost 11.5 pounds. I started out drinking 4 Protein Shakes a day and then went down to three and added a V-8 or chicken broth. I eat popcicles (sugar free) and I cut my Protein with soy milk, sugar free carmel pudding, banana, pineapple, etc. I try not to put too much fruit in so I can keep my carbs around 70. I am logging my food on myfitnesspal. I love the website and it is so easy to use to keep track of carbs calories Proteins etc..... I plan on using it after surgery as well!

      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.
