So I've been scheduled for my bypass here in Orlando on Feb 23. I'm a little nervous, as its all so real now. I just started my 3 week recommended liquid or stage 2 diet, which will be on through my surgery. Any tips?

Congratulations!! No advice here but tons of support. Did you change a lot of your daily drinking and eating habits before you started your presurgery diet? Good luck and keep us updated about your diet, I kinda worried about doing it.

Thanks. Yeah, I did change a few habits. I cut out soda and limited my portions. I'm on day 2 of my presurgury diet, and I'm doing ok. I just have to get the thoughts of a good meal out of my head for now, lol.

So today's the day, and I can't sleep a wink. I'm not sure if I'm nervous, afraid, or excited. A little of each, I guess. I so don't know what to expect, and that both excites me and scares me shitless. I'm so dang hungry, and all I had yesterday was some Water and...well more Water. I had to work yesterday, and I didn't really get a chance to eat the way I'm supposed to. I know...(slaps own wrist) but I was really busy, as I was preparing to be out of the office for 3 weeks.

I won't make this much longer, but thank you all for the support, and I'll catch up with you all afterwards!!!

      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!
