Monday is my final weigh in with my surgeon. I had to lose 40 lbs before he would schedule it. I went to weigh in once in the meantime. I weighed at home and drove the hr to his office to weigh. His scale was 5 lbs higher :(. I am pretty sure I've lost the weight. According to my scales, as of today I've lost 44. Any tips or tricks on what to do Monday to keep my weight as low as possible when I go to him at 2:30? Do I eat? Not eat all day? Drink a lot of Water? Avoid drinks? Wear jeans? Advice is welcome!

If it were me, today & tomorrow I would do a liquid diet of my Protein Drinks only. Have you been weighing in at Dr's office fully clothed? If you are just a few pounds off tomorrow at weigh in ask to be weighed in an exam gown. Take everything off, jewelry, bra & underpants. Best of luck to you.

Cut out salt too, it makes you retain Water. Stay hydrated, but try not to drink for an hour or two before the appointment.

Thanks for the tips! I never thought about asking to take my clothes off. I'm pretty sure 90% of us here weigh that way lol. I will for sure not eat any solids tomorrow. I had my last meal at 2 today. I might tank up on Water tonight and stray from drinking much of anything tomorrow. I'm nervous! Thanks for the advice again! I'll come back with an update.

      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!
