9 days to go for me, very excited!!

You know, one thing that always has made me curious is how everyone talks about pre-op diets, and I wonder if they're talking about about just generally trying to lose as miuch weight as possible for the surgery or if their doctors placed them on liquid diets or whatnot prior to surgery. After reading people talking about it here, I asked my surgeon and he said No, just a clear liquid diet from the NIGHT before, but that's it... hmmmmm I guess many surgeons have different takes on this.

My pre-op diet is all liquids for 2 weeks pre-op. I have to drink 3 Protein Shakes a day one for each meal and can have sugar free Popsicles and Jello. Also broth. I am now on day 5 I can't say it is easy, it is a struggle but not un bearable. I keep going to frig to see what is there but then remember no eating. It is also hard because I have 2 young boys 8 and 10 so I still need to provide for them.

I go to surgery on Feb 8!????. I am very glad and also anxious. Trying to be a good girl and finish my 24 day pre op diet. I think I'm doing pretty good; I'm getting tired of all the Protein shakes! As the pre op diet goes on, I've lost my appetite almost completely. I don't feel hungry and eating feels like a forced affair. Weird!! But I'm trying.....????!! Best wishes for everyone, I'm rooting for all of you!!

Hello to all my fellow February surgery pals ????????

I am all set for Feb. 8th.

Feeling excited and nervous but it is SO comforting to know I'm not going through this alone. I really appreciate everyone's shares.

Well, ha ha ha!, I'm not dying-yet!! ????. I've lost about 15# so far, my days are almost up. I've lost a total of about 45#, and I'm very pleased with that. I see my surgeon and the rest of the surgery team on the 4th to go over the surgery and do any last minute stuff he wants done for pre op. Then Monday its time to go! It's all been worth it, but still intimidating. ????

      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!
