Help I am starving!! Only clear liquids today...m



Recommended Posts

Try to think of it as a relief! This is your freedom from food day! :o Clear liquids are tough, but if you just keep something consistently going in, I promise you you will get through it. And, in a few days you'll be here rejoicing about the first 10lbs coming right off your feet and ankles! lol.

Try to focus on something else, like walking, walking, walking. Remember all that you have read here, go back and read again. This is done so that your tummy can heal and your band can be anchored in place by scar tissue. Forcing your tummy to grind and churn solid foods at this point could hinder the process and contribute to slippage later on. Have Jello, broth, coffee, tea, Crystal Light anything that you can see through EXCEPT carbonated beverages. NO carbonation. Just keep it going through constantly and I swear you will make it!

I don't miss those days, the day before or the 14 that followed. I was only on Clear Liquids the day before surgery, yea! Then liquids, (what ever I could get through a straw) the next 14 days. Thank goodness for the mushy stage. I had creamed Soups and if in doubt, add a little liquid and run it through a blender. I'm so glad my doctor wasn't set on "clear" liquids. Good Luck.

      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?
