Recommended Posts

I completely understand!

Surgery on June 13, and this diet is not easy, but at the end of the day, we all are one step closer

to living such a better life

I constantly look at before and after photos, and read stories of sleevers that are 3 or more years out and look how amazing they look and read all their tips and advice........find something to keep your mind and body busy..........its much easier that

way

I have cleaned my bedroom, my bathroom, and my closet..........

organized the refrigerator, and weeded and mulched the flower beds all in the last 7 days!

You GO girl~

OH YES, I feel ya! June 14 is my surgery date and shrinking the liver is not easy, and I overthink everything, so I was like, "Do I really need this", I'm going to Google it and see what it says about the shrinking liver.diet that you have to have before your surgery, if it's good or bad or if they just tell you that you need to do it, and it's the best thing to do so that the doctor don't hit your liver, Google has a lot of information if you want to Google it and read all the information so yeah after that I'm sure thinking I really need to do the liquid diet to shrink my liver so that I'll have no complications with my surgery, I'm in the same boat as you and We Can Do IT!

Nothing you are doing to prepare for surgery is "killing you"... it's preparing you for rebirth. Every day is one step closer to your new life. Your new energy. Your new way of fitting into the world. Your new way of looking at food. You can do this, YOU CAN DO THIS.

YOU GOT THIS!

Well said !!!!

I was sleeved May20, 2016 so I am 20 days post OP... I must admit it was VERY discouraging in the beginning. The pre-op and the Post Op diets as well. I had virtually a pain free procedure, only taking pain meds the 1st day. 2 days ago I was so upset that I had this surgery, but TODAY!!!! 20 must be the lucky number bc I finally feel AWESOME. So just keep pressing and seeking support. Take your Vitamins, gallbladder and gas meds and follow surgeons orders. It is well worth it in the end. GOOD LUCK...@@Km77942009

      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!
