I have a little crafty business making tshirts. I told my husband I will make new tshirts until I can buy a large! Then I'll shop!

I'm having my appt. Today with the dietitian. Kinda nervous and excited at the same time. My niece who is a nurse informed me she didn't approve of my surgery and their are never good outcomes. Really got me thinking. I've done a ton of research and feel I'm doing the right thing.

Now that is motivation for a shopaholic like me!

There are going to be a lot of people who will not agree with your surgery both now and in the latter stages. You have to believe you are doing the right thing for you. I bet you have tried other ways to lose the weight like all of us have and were not successful. This has to be something you are doing for you.

Day 2 of my pre-op diet! I made it though day one but had a huge headache and went to bed early. Here's to 13 more days until the big day. Also my boss signed off on my FMLA forms so we are good to go.

I caved on the liquid diet last night and feeling like crap about it today...

I went over to my boyfriends cousins for his bday dinner. I ate pork chops, mashed potatoes and corn. When I weighed this morning, I was still down almost a pound from Saturday but I just know it would have been more had I not screwed up.

Back at it 100% today. Shaking it off and not letting one bad meal break me. I think I might have panicked a little because I picked up the loan for my portion of the surgery yesterday so it made it all that much more real!

My surgery date is November 21st with Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. I sure wish I was having it done close to home but have to love Coventry Louisiana denials.

Welcome, we are here to support you.

Angierue - I start my pre-op diet on Monday and the following Saturday is my birthday. I am already planning my one cheat day for the occasion. However, it will include broiled fish and vegetables with Water. I figured I can still enjoy my birthday without going over board.

My surgery is Nov. 24 and my birthday is the 20th. The NUT always encourages a cheat day so I'll be taking advantage of it then....but I'm avoiding it now!

Thank God. It will be tough when we still have our current tummy. I am planning to take pictures, weigh and measure myself before the liquid diet and again before surgery. Then do the same every month afterwards.

I will be journaling in adding photos and measurements in a scrapbook.

It will be nice to look back at my progress.

Mine did not encourage a cheat day. At all! I've still got 8lbs to lose and I'm trying to do it before the 27th (but have until 11/4).

She gave us a Protein carb pairing diet that has really worked. I lost 9# in 10 days.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
