Tomorrow is the start of my 10 day pre-op diet. Protein Shakes only (5-6 a day) for first 9 days...10th day Clear liquids only. Pre-Op Exam on Monday. Surgery May 20th.

It's really sinking in.....I'm doing this!! I'm ready to get on the otherside of this and start my "new normal" :-)

Any last minute words of advice to get through this phase appreciated!

Time to GET ER DONE!!!

You can do it! Keep believing in yourself.

The preop diet is hard, but keep thinking about all the great stuff you will be able to do when the weight starts dropping off.

Best of luck to you.

Stick to the preop diet and you will lose a significant amount of weight. Shrinking your liver makes it easier for the Dr to move around in there. Good Luck on your journey!

      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!
