It is funny. I actually practiced being on the preop diet so I knew I could do three days of it. I am on day one of the real one and today I believe I am hungry. What is the magic day to get past on the pre-op diet.

I started my pre op diet today too. Funny thing is I had to take my daughter to an appointment. I had two hours of free time on my hands and truly did not know what to do. Normally I would have gone somewhere to eat. Now just sitting in the car surfin bariatric pal. Lol. Maybe a walk around the park. Hang in there. We can do this!

Well, I would love to have a specific day, I am converting from lap band to bypass. Did the pre op 3 days went fine however, when it came to laparoscopicly taking out the band all went well unfortunately, Dr said I was so small and tight, he could not do the bypass laproscopically. So he removed the band woke me up and he told me I will need to loose at least 15 or 20 lbs being ideal before he can go back in and try laproscopically approach again. What a huge bummer at first, but I am 5 days into a 700 cal liquid diet and more motivated! Glass half full.... Literally. 20 is a big number for me at 53 and in menopause. Just really want to avoid the big incision bad pain and more scarring. I am a new member and believe strongly in the power of positive thought. If you guys could think or give me some + feedback I would appreciate it so much. Wishing I could lose 20 lbs in 3 weeks but, seems tough, has anyone done it? Sorry post so long... Lisa

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
