Pyjamas, some loose clothes, laptop/kindle for entertainment, toiletries, a towel, anti-gas stuff. There are some other things that I can't remember, my provider sent me a long list of suggested things. I'm at the hospital for a week though, so you may not need as much stuff.

why for a week, if you don't mind me asking?

It seems to be standard for the company/hospital I'm going with? That way you're over the hump and any immediate post op problems can be resoled I suppose, and it gives them a chance to talk you through the first few days with your drinking/eating. Given that I'm going to another country to get it done I'm kind of glad of it tbh.

I don't know about you guys, but this pre-op diet has been torture. I'm not necessarily hungry, but I suffer from Migraines and have had nonstop headaches for two days. That + no food = misery. I'm scheduled for Feb 1

I pray that these headaches don't continue.

I will be praying for you. I only had headaches for the first few days of my two weeks, it was hard letting go off my beloved caffeine. Tomorrow I start my Clear Liquids only for three days, I am also scheduled for the 1st.

So the headache continues today... I go to a relexology spa to try and get the pain massaged away and I give the asian guy a jar of tiger balm to use. When he finishes my back and tells me to flip over, I look up and he has toilet paper jammed in both of his nostrils because apparently he doesn't like the smell of tiger balm ????????????

I got lucky with my pre-op, the surgeon is ok with you eating regular food provided it's low carb/low fat, so I've been able to do Protein shake Breakfast, Soup with unflavoured Protein for Breakfast and fish/turkey with vegetables (usually spinach or stirfry mix) for dinner.

I don't drink coffee or soda so I haven't had to deal with the withdrawal in that regard.

I feel the same. I'm scheduled for 2/1 also. The first 2-3 days were the hardest for me but it seems to be better now. I'm adding sugar free flavored syrups to my shakes and they really taste good. I've had headaches too but I think it's from caffeine withdraw. My doctor is allowing me to have a cup or two a day and it seems to help. Good luck to you! Hope all goes well! :)

      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!
