I feel like a loser



Recommended Posts

I was very bad before my surgery I didn't follow the diet at all because they pushed my surgery up and I had a vacation planned. I was fine, surgery went fine, and now the post surgery weight loss is fine. You'll be okay. My surgeon told me that it's the day before surgery that matters the most.

They make you go on that diet so you can lose some weight and shrink your liver before the surgery. However, you are supposed to strictly follow that duet 24 hours prior to surgery so there isn't food particles in your stomach while they are performing the surgery.

Your not a loser! I've had massive trouble sticking to my diet. Today I've also been feeling low.

Good luck xx

Many people have done the same thing. The guilt feeling is good, that means you understand the gravity of the food decisions you are making. Granted this could have had more instantaneous repercussions like your surgery getting cancelled. But I doubt that will happen if you stick to it from now until your surgery and get your liver to shrink enough.

Keep these feelings that you are having about this slip up in mind as you move forward in this journey. There are going to be bumps in the road we just have to do everything we can to clean up our eating. Take some time to contemplate why you went ahead and had a taco even though you knew what you needed to do. A little soul searching goes a long ways. Chin up, make a plan, and hammer through it, you'll do great!

      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.
