1st day of pre-op diet n I ate like 3 baby dill pickles. So I cheated gotta get my mind right already. Just needed something besides liquids.

☆Jeni☆

I picked up some sugar free popsicles to give something to "crunch" when I'm tired of the shakes. maybe You could Do Something Like That. Good luck!

I can only hope for a July surgery.....I have my 5 hour block appointment tomorrow for all the testing, if all paperwork is good and insurance says it's a go, how long after your testing did you have to wait to schedule surgery?

I was scheduled the next day after I got approved cause I had did everything.

I am so excited for my July 25th date!!! I've even started eating low carb so that when I start my 2 week preop liquid diet I've already went through the carb withdraw and hopefully it will be easier! One giant adjustment at a time.

After the first week of liquids is over, I bought some baby food for the following weeks. I was told I can puree some chicken with fat-free gravy or chicken broth, so I will attempt that. Stocking up on unsweetened apple sauce, sugar free puddings, ricotta, oatmeal, grits, all the mushy stuff.

So far I have only told only my husband and plan to keep it that. I'm 43 have yo-yo'd my whole life, but I am super active. Happily married, one daughter and I live in DC.

That's awesome!

I have cancelled my surgery. Since I have a lower BMI, my Holistic doctor has persuaded me to try the HCG Protocol first as an alternative to surgery.

I will starting Phase 1 in one and a half weeks.

Good luck!!

I took HCG injections and they did not work at all! It was a waste of $895!

Mine is July 15th. So much to do before then! They want me on a week pre op diet. I just recently heard about the Hair loss related to surgery so I am getting OGX Biotin & collagen Shampoo which someone told me about. Other than that no worries! lol

      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!
