Hi all! I can't believe this journey so far, and it has just barely started. As of today I am two months and two days out from the day I started my pre op liquid diet. On that day I weighed 292.8 lbs. Two weeks later the morning of surgery on October 4th my weight was at 275.6 this morning I reached 50 lbs give since the start of my liquid diet. And 33 lbs gone in the six weeks and two days since surgery. It feels amazing! IMG_20171127_085628_501.jpg

I'm excited. Started at 361 on the 17th. Started my liquid diet on the 20th and as of this morning I'm 353. It's only 8 lbs but I've never dropped 8 lbs in one week and I have another week to go. My surgery is 12/4

That's so awesome! Great job! And believe me... I know what you mean. I would try so hard every month only to lose 3 lbs and now I'm 50 lbs down.
Keep me posted after your surgery. I'd love to keep in touch with your progress :)

Thank you. That's so encouraging. I'm trying to make all my preparations. How much did you rely on Protein Shakes? I don't eat meat and usually am 100% vegan but I've made concessions for the liquid diet. I was thinking for the first four weeks continuing the 2 shakes and a meal plan

My surgeon wants me to have two 4oz Protein Shakes every day. Plus 64oz of liquid (water) and per my surgeons meal plan I should be on mushy foods however I still can't hold down anything more than Soup. So I've been doing my Protein shakes and 1/2 a cup of soup twice a day. I miss the taste of food but I know it's all worth it

      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!

        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.
