Great tip! I'm struggling as well the past few days. I think I'll set an alarm on my phone or something lol, especially since I was just reading a post on hair loss- yikes!

I struggle too! Go to bed feeling so thirsty, but cannot fit another drop in- hectic work day everyday- I forget and fall behind quickly. I am so going to do this starting Monday- great idea!

That's a good idea!!! Funny thing is I know what I'm supposed to do but some days the liquids just won't go down. It's like being so thirsty but you just can't swallow. I hate that feeling.

Do the Protein Shakes count towards the liquid intake. Or is it just Water?

Protein shakes do count as liquids. All fluids count - and so does sugar free jello! Except, you have to be careful with caffeinated fluids, because they do not hydrate you well.

      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!
