I just came home from a crab boil, you know, crabs corn potatoes, sausages giant bowls of shrimp... What did I have? I glass of unsweetened tea. I'm on day 10 of my 15 day liquid pre- op diet . It smelled wonderful but I'm proud of myself for not cheating!

Mmmmmmmm....crab boil... I spent my college summers on the Maryland/Virginia shore as a marine science major and LIVED on crab and shrimp boils. Awesome restraint!

Congrats! You should be proud. I had my surgery on Dec.26 so I was on the liquid diet for 2 weeks prior. I am Italian so not being able to eat during the Christmas holidays was torture and I hosted Christmas day! But I did it! The proudest time of my life!

Good for you!! I'm almost two weeks out from surgery... I had to do a two wk liquid diet prior and that encompassed my birthday and the fourth. I did not cheat!!! I am still on a liquid diet and I will be till I see the surgeon on the 30th. I feel so good since I had the surgery not being able to eat ah a been rough. I'm not hungry but I just want something different. I am lucky that I can have yogurt and SF pudding but after almost a month it is getting old. My family has hugely benefitted because I've become obsessed with food TV (sadistic I know) and they have had a home cooked meal every night for the last week and half and yes that is how good I feel since surgery. All I can say is I am really looking forward to my appointment and pureed food, which previously didn't think I wanted to do.... I was just going to keep doing liquids and wait for soft foods, but now pureed sounds great!!!'

Mothers ... why do they do that?

Us: I can't eat those mushrooms. I'm deathly allergic to them.

Mother: Here, sweetie, just a small bite. With a little bit of my parmesan cream sauce.

      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!
