I have my surgery on August 11th as well. Today I start the 2 week liver reduction diet. I'm nervous but so excited to begin the journey I've waited so long to start.

Good luck.

I'm Aug 11 and only have a 2 day clear liquid diet.

I'm freaking out because I'm eating more now, as if it's the last time. Why am I doing this? It's like I'm sabotaging myself before I even start!!

Hey.

Last night was my last supper. I had whatever I wanted. But now I have 2 weeks of only fat free / sugar free yogurt, sugar free jelly and Water.

What I would suggest is don't go overboard on 'eating everything you can't have post surgery'

Why do you only have to do a 2 day clear liquid diet before surgery? Don't you have to do a liver reduction diet?

Im in the UK but I've noticed a lot of members on here from the US. Where are you?

Every patient in the UK needs to do a 2 week lover reduction diet.

I don't know. I'm at a 39.5 BMI no co morbidity so I have no idea. I was mentally preparing for a two week liquid diet but the surgeon told me only 2 days clear liquid. I'm in the US in Miami. Going to get my act together starting today as if I had to do the liquid pre op diet so I don't get crazy headaches afterwards. I'm 39 and have a weight of 208 lbs and a goal 138.

Your liver reduction diet is based off of your BMI before hand, at least that is what my surgeon and my nut told me. For example, I have a really high BMI, and my surgeon wants me to have a 3 week liquid diet preop.

My surgeon told me he could do the surgery today without the liver reduction diet (BMI 53) that the mandate comes from the insurance companies. I can see from here that it helps us get our heads on straight for proper eating after surgery.

      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!
