Hi All

I met with my surgeon today and he said that I need to start my pre-op diet. But all he said was all liquids. So i asked does that mean Protein Shakes or Clear Liquids? He said I can do Protein for 2 days then clear liquids for the other 3. I was so flustered by everything else I forgot to ask him what is a clear diet? I know Water, and broth, but what about Jello? What color can I have? I really like the cherry flavor..lol I am like a little kid. I have my pre-op testing and final class on Thursday, I guess I can ask then. Any suggestions will be great!

You guys are doing really great! This will be great!

Chic80 I agree I've still been cooking but think it's making it a bit harder. May need to try letting hubby get his own he keeps asking. I keep thinking it's not a problem. But today I was hungry and I don't want to go wrong.

I know your pain. I have a 17 year old I still have to cook for and it's super hard to stay straight.

This is my last week of food. Start my pre op liquids Mon for surgery on the 29. Only thing I am nervous about is waiting on ins approval (wondering how long it will take to hear back from BCBS) and then also pre op for 2 wks. Sooo ready for surgery and after bc you will HAVE to eat liquids, etc but this before stuff, with all the Christmas parties, ohhhh boyyyy. I GOT THIS! Yall send a prayer up for me that ins goes through and pre op diet won't be for nothing. Lol

I don't think BC takes long to approve. You just have to have met all their requirements first, that's the hardest part. I didn't get my surgery scheduled until approval was done. They must be pretty sure!

Made it through pre op testing today. Woo hoo...no more hoops to jump through!

Day 3 of pre op all liquid diet and it is going decent. I am trying to take this time and adjust and break my habit and relationship with food. The only part is I feel like I am losing a friend which I am definitely not cause when is food ever a friend. Lol its getting closer. Tomorrow I go back to work after being off the past 3 days. I hope it is easy to focus and do my job with minimal energy. How is everyone else's diet change going?

My husband went through my closet and organized my clothes by size. Size 26 all the way done to a size 10. I was so glad that he did that for me. After surgery I can just blow through the big sizes and bag them up to give away as I go!

      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.
