Just started my 2 week liquid pre-op diet and today was hard but I know that as I get through this weekend it will be a lot easier. When I get to go back to work I will be busy and have less head hunger (Or at least that is what I am hoping for LOL). I know I can do this as I am a rule follower especially when I know I have to answer for myself like I will when surgery day rolls around. I am wrapping my head around the changes more and more as I can as I know this is not a temporary change and I look forward to this awesome tool that I get to use. Just trying to write some things out to keep myself accountable and motivated. I know after will suck big time but I figure it will not suck any more than watching my boys do life. I am so excited to get in there and do life more and more and more with them. I am an active mom with my loves but the thought of things like going down the slide with them instead of waiting at the end for them because I am too big to fit. I will stop rambling but trying to keep those things in the front of my head to get through those hard times.

it gets easier and easier as the day goes by. I would recommend getting some Protein Water to help you tide over. One thing I did was have broth for both lunch and dinner and shakes in between to keep some kind of normalcy during the two weeks.

      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!
