Well, I'm on day 3 of my 2 week pre-op liquid diet and I can honestly say that finally today, I don't want to pull someones head off or gnaw on my own arm to survive ;) Seriously though, I'm doing fairly well and not starving. I think I'm starting to adjust and making good progress. How is everyone else doing?

I'm just dayone...but I was doing 2-3 days a week for about a month now. I'll be glad to get to day FOUR. Then I will know I will be OK...Also doing half caffiene and then using surgery as the breaking point to no caffiene. Keep up the good work!

I gave up caffeine when I first started my 3-month supervised diet so that I wouldn't have to deal with the headaches late in the game. Thankful that I did that !!! Good luck and can't wait to hear how things are going :)

That's awesome! Such inspiration! I do not have a surgery date yet, so I have not started anything. I'm still deciding where to go.

Keep up the good work!

Good luck on your decision :) It was the hardest and best decision of my life and I'm so excited about it.

I'm also on day 3. Luckily, my Dr only required me to do 1 week liquid vs the 2 weeks that most of his other patients have had to do. I'm having the opposite reaction than you are. Days 1 and 2 were great for me. Today, I'm hungrier than I have been the other 2 days. It might be because I'm at home rather than at work, so I'm not constantly busy. Other than that, I'm honestly surprised at how full I have been feeling.

I'm on day 5 of a 14 day pre-op diet. I'm doing very well with it. Day 1 and 2 were very difficult but i stuck with it. I'm also down 5 lbs. Keep with it. ...we are almost there!

I'm on day 4 of 14 and I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised that it really is not bothering me. I was shocked when I hopped on the scale this morning, I am down 9 lbs!

I'm on day 7 I think it took me till day 5 to not get crazy about food. Now I can talk about it and watch it and be ok. I still get the headaches and the "hangry" moments. lol but good luck to us all and pray that we don't cheat tomorrow.

      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!
