Hi Amber,

I have a surgery date of September 9th. I am just a tad (tads do matter) over 5'4" and 330. I am into my pre surgery diet now, and hope I can shed some before my August 28th Dr. appt.

Good luck to you. We will stay in contact here and I wish you the best.

Amber, what are your clear liquid plans after surgery.

First two weeks= Clear liquids

Next four weeks = liquids (I think I have that covered)

I am a bit stumped on the Clear Liquids.< /p>

My plans are chicken broth. I know for clear liquids we can have sugar free Jello and popcicles. We can do flavored water also. That's pretty much on my agenda for his. I want to get some tasteless powder Protein to add to my broth so I can make sure I'm getting the protein I need.

I am also having surgery on 9/14. The Protein powder I'm using is from Thorne research laboratory (chocolate and vanilla) . My doctors office sells it discounted. It's pretty good. I only have a 3 day pre op diet. Right now they advise 1-2 Meal Replacement Protein drinks per day. Low carb diet for other meals. Eat Protein first and no drinking with meals. Exercise at least 4 X week. They also have me taking Calcium chloride and Vitamins with Biotin and zinc. I have to attend a pre-op class on the Sept. 3rd. To prepare for post op I've purchased unflavored and chicken Soup flavor Protein Powder.

      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!
