I'm being banded on Friday, 12/27 and I start my clear liquid diet at midnight tonight. I have got my Jello, broth and popsicles ready. Has anyone been told during their clear liquid diet that they can't have flavored jello? I bought raspberry, strawberry banana and peach. Hoping I can eat it. Happy Holidays!

I'm waiting on insurance approval but have tentative surgery date of 1/20/14. I'm a registered nurse and a planner so I've researched the diet requirements a lot. Although I've found that each surgeon recommends similar diets, they all vary a bit. But I'm comfortable to say that my surgeon says yes to flavored Jello as long as it is sugar free. Hope this helps! So excited for your journey and hoping for approval from my insurance soon!

Thanks! I did buy the sugar free so I'm going to eat it. Good luck with your insurance approval.

I know for me flavored jellos were fine, as long as they were sugar free. Don't hesitate to call your surgeon's office, if you have any questions about your diet, though!

Good luck to you!

Hi KSteele!

I'm being banded tomorrow also! Friday 12/27

I had to start my liquid diet 2 weeks ago though. Lucky you. The good news is I've lost 15 pounds. I'm really nervous about tomorrow, are you?

Well, I'm off to bed. See you on the other side!

Thank you for asking Slinkielovin. Friday was pretty rough. The nurse told my husband that the anesthesiologist got a little heavy handed. She had several of us coming out of surgery feeling nauseous and having trouble getting awake. I felt rough Friday but a little better yesterday and better yet today. I am surprisingly hungry! Muscles are sore and my insides feel like they've been rearranged but that is getting better. My stomach is growling and rumbling and I get the occasional hiccup which is unpleasant, but over all, I'm on the mend!

      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!

        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.

      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!
