Yeah. It's been rough. I did have a salad today. Go figure. Are you in NJ Ms. Prettyandbrown?

No I am in Houston tx. Should my scale move? I haven't lost any weight since starting the pre diet lol

Yay! I found my April buddies! I am new to the site, please add me! :)

I am scheduled for surgery on April 11th. Looks like I will have a good group of friends to journey with on this long, long, winding road. Lol

I started the pre-op liquid fast today. 4 shakes a day, Optifast shakes (EW!). These taste nasty, but they're the only thing the doctor allows his patients to drink.

I've only been doing this for a few hours and I want a basket of onion rings and extra ranch. :angry:

cccv4,

welcome mad good luck! So you can only have shakes all day? Today I was tested, I went out to dinner with my friend and daughter and while they indulged in delicious looking food, I munched on celery and waited for my light choice steak meal to come. It was well worth the wait. I really want popcorn right now.

I am April 1st. Two and a quarter days left. I am nervous but so ready. Did some house cleaning and arranged all my stuff on a shelf in the pantry so I don't have to bend down a lot. Tomorrow I will pack my bag for the hospital.

Theluckydog ...all liquids? Oh man. Good luck!

I'm also on all liquids for 2 weeks. THIS SUCKS!!! I've been chewing on the same piece of gum for HOURS. I want that candy they had on Charlie and the chocolate Factory, where different flavors of gum resemble different plates of food. Lol

      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?

        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.
