I'm jealous of you that can have actual meals on the pre op diet. I'm 5 days in and I'm allowed 2 Protein Shakes, and any broth based Soup for dinner. I can have sf Jello, sf pudding, sf Popsicles and low fat yogurt. I'm so sick of sweet stuff!!!

On day 6 of my pre-op diet, (surgery oct 1)- I'm allowed a "small no carb meal" at night. I blew it last night, I ate 6 ounces of chicken Marsala instead of recommended 2-3 ounces... I also had minestrone Soup AND the salad... Too much for one sitting... And now I went up on the scale by a pound... Hope it's just Water retention from the sodium... I feel so guilty! ????

One more thing down, this past Thursday I had my scope done, piece of cake! Got there at 7, went back at 830 and was headed home around 10ish. (Worst part was the IV in the back of my hand!) Now, 29 days until surgery!!

      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!
