Hi Slamdunk! I live in North London, and am scheduled for surgery on 2nd November 2016. How are you getting in with the liver shrinking diet? Are u liquids only? I'm struggling tbh, and I'm only on day 3! It's not the liquids that bothers me it's the constant rumbling hunger!

My surgery date is October 26th and I'd love a buddy in the same boat! I live in Minneapolis, but London is my favorite city!! We were just there in June. #jealous

Hi all, I'm from the UK. My surgery date is the 3rd Nov and started pre op diet on the 20th Oct. Doing shakes for Breakfast and lunch, with a main meal from the pre op plan. I've noticed that things are a little different in the USA in way of pre op diet. I would like to know how other people are coping with the diet, as I'm only on day 3. Many thanks.

      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?
