I'm fascinated by all of our different processes after surgery -- some have Clear liquids for 2 weeks, others 2 days. Just a comment, no issues with it and not judging whether one is right or wrong -- just interesting to me!!

What type of nutrition plan do you have? Are you still on a clear liquid diet?

I had to finish the clear liquid diet before I left the hospital, but now I am going through the liquid part of the stage, I can drink broth, and 100% juices with half of Water. And I take the bus and Calcium and multi Vitamin. How about you?

I'm only 6 days in and I start Purée Diet in 2 days! (Sat) can't wait! I've had no complications and I'm getting all my liquids.

Keep doing a great job. I have to put it all in God's hands. But I am glad to meet people like you and the other ones on this app. God bless you and keep doing a great job.

I know the feeling. It was so freaking hard. I was so tired of Clear Liquids and the sugar substitute. I wasa getting this gross foamy sweet crap in my throat all the time. I got to a point I didnt want anything anymore. I was upset and angry about not being able to get full. This was just my experiance. I am sure it is different for many others but now being over 2 weeks out i am finally feeling better. I feel your pain and soon it will be over with. i promise. Just follow the program and focus on hydration.

      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?
