After surgery you won't be hungry much. As soon as you eat something, you'll be full. I broke down one day, and have a pack of Lance crackers, that was it, had to skip my meal.

Yes that’s what I keep reading. It’s like this is the hardest part because I’m aware that I can still eat the food. But I’m determined to beat this food cravings and not give in. I have to keep fighting.

Thanks Star! You started early. Today so far I’ve had Water and a oíkos zero sugar yogurt. It alone has 15 grams of Protein. lunch will be Premier Protein shake. They’re not too bad.

[emoji38] You say that now, but after surgery, and another 2 weeks liquid, they will drive you insane.....

I think this pre op diet is harder than the whole surgery. It’s so hard

Really? I haven’t even been given an idea of what it might be. Glass half full, when I go to pre-op I’ll only have a week until surgery [emoji33]

I am scheduled for surgery on April 25th! My Dr requires a 1 week pre-op diet so I start mine on the 18th, but this week I'm trying to slowly change my diet so that I don't go into shock next week lol.
Good luck to you on your new journey!
I'll be look forward to your updates!

The week before I technically had to start I started this with just one healthy meal a day so I wouldn’t go in shock. I know my brain/body and have to ease into things. So the transition wasn’t too bad. Good luck!

So, I got my pre-op diet plan. Two days before I have to do stage 2, the full Fluid stage where I can have yogurt, Protein Shakes, and cream of wheat. One day before is nothing but Clear Liquids, so it won’t be tooooooo bad.

      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!
