Hey everyone..

Have first nutritionist appoint Monday..

My history...

I'm 42 single mom of 2.. With 4 knee surgeries in past .. 2 herniated back discs.. Hyperglycemia .. High cholesterol .. So I am looking forward to getting of meds and having an active life with my kids... Without knee pain..

I am nervous..: but so excited.. I am doing my research as to preparing for after.. Have knowledge..

Can anyone who had this done way in as to what you ate or drank after surgery..: being a single mom I want to prepare ahead and get things as I go shopping when money allows it...

Congrats to all of you making a life altering change :))

Hi Lauren, I've been slowly getting the Premier Protein drink from Walmart, think SAMs carries it also. It's pricy but I figured for the first couple weeks after surgery it will help with Protein seeing it has 30 grams in it. Also getting slimfast for the 2 week before surgery. Tere are others I've tasted and these r best for me.

congrats Lauren and good luck. For me after surgery I had my Protein Shakes on hand, sugar free Jello, pudding, Popsicles. Soup and yogurt. Also I dealt with bad knee pain and since my surgery 6/18 and losing 27 lbs what a difference. And boy it feels good.

      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!
