My advice is to get it together right now. You will have to realize that eventually you have to make right decisions to keep the weight loss happening as well as staying at goal. If you can't fix it now it will be ten times harder once the honeymoon phase is over.

Good luck.

if it helps any, my surgeon doesn't require me to do any special diet before hand so you should be okay. Also congrats!! It's going to be here sooner then you know.

You will be great..Some surgeons don't even require it...Mine never even mentioned it before nor after....Best Wishes....Day one make sure they have our meds right when you come from surgery...Not morphine,,,It does not take pain away and have the nausea meds on deck 2...You will need them for a few days

My surgery date is June 24th. June 9th is my preop appt. Lately I've been having a funeral with food. I even made an appointment with my attorney to make a will for my 4 year old son. Am I being morbid? Obsessing over youtube videos pre/post too. So looking forward to the journey so why am I feeling this angst?

      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!
