Feb 7th Surgery....anyone else and where?



Recommended Posts

Ok...so, it's getting real. I have completed 1 week of the pre-op diet. It's going well and have dropped 13lbs. Tonight I tried a different Soup and totally regret it. I feel like my taste buds are already changing.

So, this time next week. I will almost be landing in San Diego and the next morning, off to see Dr. Illan. Can't wait!

I'm on for Feb 6th. Pre-op diet has been minimal for me. From reading here that is weird. Only 1 Meal Replacement and liquids the day before. Super exciting! We're gonna do great!

A couple of us are sleeved now! Yay! To the beginning of a new life. It's not often we get a reset button. I had surgery Monday and was home b Tuesday afternoon.

I'm really struggling getting my fluids and Protein in today. Not gonna be too hard on myself because my tiny tummy is healing.

How's everybody doing?

Congrats!!!! How did you do your first week? Did you have any cheats or moments of weakness? Today is my day 1 of liquids and it feels like the day that is never going to end! Surgery date is 2/15!

I was lucky. I lived on Protein Shakes and pureed/chopped wonton Soup. I did well and lost 22lbs in the 14 days.

I did have a food funeral before the liquid diet. But I didn't allow myself to cheat in fear I would screw up the liver shrinkage and surgery co u lent be completed.

      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!
