I have been so obsessed that my surgery seems so far away that I didn't even realize that I start my pre-op diet in three weeks. Once June is here its going to creep up fast. I am so excited!!

@annymarie Go check out their website. You'll find all kinds of instructions and ideas for how to use their Protein powders.< /p>

Based on my experience, if you get it too hot, it will clump up and not dissolve properly. It doesn't hurt the protein, just makes it clumpy.

I will. thank you.

isn't it funny that most of us including me who have had the 6 month nut visits were annoyed because it seemed so far away at the beginning and now it flew by and we're like omg it came so fast. lol

I feel fortunate that I didn't have to do the 6 month thing. I have no patience what so ever, I would of went insane.

I almost lost my mind having to do the 6 month diet. I had talked with my insurance and was told I wouldn't have to do it and then I was denied because I hadn't done it. Gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I swear I could have killed someone but now my surgery date is just around the corner, June 3rd. I've fought for this for so long and now that it's here EEEKKK!

29 days to go!! I am not scared or nervous,yet. I have had plenty of surgeries before. I am more worried about drinking that nasty magnesium citrate for bowel prep. I have had the lemon flavor before, trust me its not good. Hoping that grape or cherry has a better taste.

Bowel prep? Hmm I haven't heard anything about that.

Consider yourself lucky if you don't have to do bowel prep. My doctor never mentioned it either, it was in the pre-op paperwork and the handbook. The day before my surgery its nothing but Clear Liquids and a big bottle of magnesium citrate for me. That stuff is a super powerful laxative. I'm going to have a busy day....lol.

      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!
