How’s everyone doing that’s on their preop liquid diet? ? I was struggling with my surgeon required Optifast shakes but found that adding a little sugar free pudding to it thickens and covers up the gritty texture! Aug 6 - only 12 days to go!

So a small update - I’m at my surgeons appointment and the lady at the front desk said that my insurance doesn’t require a submit (whatever that means?) and she said that’s a good thing. Downside is I don’t get my date today like she said I would a few days ago but she’s going to call me tomorrow or Thursday with my date. She said the surgeon is pushed out until near the end of August so we shall see ! Soon as I get my official date I’ll know when to begin my pre op diet.

Hello all,

I just had my pre-op appointment at the hospital so I've cleared the final hurdle! My RNY/GB is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 1, at 1:30 p.m. in the Houston area.

I'm excited and nervous but much more excited than nervous. ;-)

Can't wait to be on the loser's bench!

Congrats to everyone who was recently approved!!! I am on day 8 of my liver shrink diet and I am feeling good. Mine allows me to eat one small meal and two shakes a day. I do find myself thinking that I SHOULD be hungry but I'm working on that bug in my ear.

@YoBL Its awesome you are able to identify the mental hunger thing. That scares me more than surgery, not being able to get past that.

      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!
