I am pre-op, but not the liquid phase yet...I'm just trying to keep it under 1200 calories. I will be praying this week (Thanksgiving week) for those of you on liquids prior to surgery, for those who recently had surgery and are on a restricted phase and even those who are post op who eat what they want... the most dangerous phase. The struggle is real. God bless us all.

Right back at ya! The family and I are flying to my moms for Thanksgiving. I know it will be difficult, but I have decided that I'm going to make a side dish of a healthy vegetable to avoid the over-abundance of casseroles that are always present, and a healthy dessert so I can avoid the cake and pie that will surely be there. With some turkey breast hopefully I can keep it fairly healthy. Once I get the lay of the land (buffet table) I am going to allow myself one cheat item if I really want it.

I had a bottle of Torani sugar-free pumpkin Pie flavor and a bottle of the regular Pumpkin Spice flavor sent to my moms house so we can make pumpkin spice lattes - sugar-free for me and anyone watching their weight, regular for the people who would cringe at the sugar-free option.

Luckily because we're flying mom can't try to send me home with plates full of leftovers!

Stay strong everyone!

Thanks for caring so much. My hubby and I have decided to skip the BIG dinner at my daughter's house this year because we don't want to be faced with the leftovers. We are going out for dinner. NO MESS & NO FUSS!!! We each have to do whatever it is that gets us thru it!! May we all have a Happy Thanksgiving and Celebrate each other and not the food!!

      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!
