It was really fast....I got my surgery scheduled the day I met with the surgeon as well...I lost 8.4lbs from Orientation to my surgeon meeting. He actually offered me August 6, so it could have been a lot faster for me, but my son is in summer camp and I had already scheduled a week to stay home with him...he then offered me the 17th. but that's the first day of school :-( and I want to be the one to drop him off for his first day as a 1st grader.

so August 24! can't wait I am a little nervous mostly about the pain, and the loose skin.....but staying positive! :-)

Hope you get your surgery date soon!

He said he was pleased on how much I had lost thus far and it looked like we were ready to schedule.

I don't have a fatty liver so that might be why?


I started the pre op diet two days after I went to orientation

I really don't. I am still trying to find chewable vitamins I like and trying to find a tasty Protein Shake. Do you know of any tasty Protein Drink?

What flavor did you try? I have tried the vanilla and the chocolate and I really did not like it. Bought cans at trader joes.

So far powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate and vanilla are okay.

      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!
