How long is your pre liquid diet ? I start mine Sept 22nd. We should keep each other updates after surgery...

We should! I have my pre-op appointment on sept 19th. I'm also starting in the 22nd! I've started testing and trying to find some broths and Protein powder and shakes that I like. So far the only thing I know for sure is that I HATE the GNC lean shakes; they like make me nauseous and the one I love with is Orgain is not going to have enough Protein it only has 21g per 8 oz serving lol!! How about you ??

@@eye1der I'm telling my office I'm having surgery but for either my gallbladder or hiatal hernia, that way I'm not lying and don't have to make up crazy stories about a vacation that didn't really happen but also keep the real reason to myself. I have 1 coworker I told, I trust her to keep it quiet and we are good friends but I'm going to have her help me keep it under wraps. Like back up my "I'm on a diet" story for the next couple of weeks leading up to the procedure so then when I come back a few pounds down its not so shocking.

I'm glad to have found some other October sleevers!!

I finally provided my surgery date to my supervisor. I did state it was medically necessary surgery regarding my digestive track. I have my FMLA forms. I am still keeping the type of surgery to myself. I feel like if I tell them the type of surgery it will get around and i don't want people to pass judgement. Its sad that I feel like I am doing something "bad" and that I will face unwanted ridicule or people staring if I share my what I am doing. I want to keep the joy to myself during such a positive time in my life. I wish I would have thought of hernia or gallbladder or read your post a few hours earlier. Thank you for your post. I am glad I am not alone when i comes to the work world.

I actually found Isopure at the Vitamin Shoppe it's like a Gatorade consistency. It has 40g of protein in one bottle. So I got the grape... It actually taste pretty good. So I added some Water to it to make it last longer and some mio grape drops taste like coolaid. I got icepop molds also I'm going to make my own popsicles out of the protein. I have a bunch of different Soups and yogurt shakes, cottage cheese is allowed on my liquid diet so I'll be using that as well.

I did buy some shakes to change it up a bit. The eas strawberry Protein Shakes are good.

      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.

        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.
