i have a date!



Recommended Posts

:clap2: I finally got my date, Dec 5th! I am excited and as it nears, nervous. I am afraid that going all liquids is going to drive me crazy next week. I am supposed to start my all liquid on Thanksgiving day but the nursing staff at my MD's office said the day after would be fine, just moderation on Thanksgiving. Any suggestions on how to get through it?

Hi

Congratulations on getting your date - not long to wait - my op is on Dec 3 so know how you feel at the moment.

I'm from Australia so not too sure what your pre-op diet is like. Ours is a Meal Replacement called Optifast - tastes like **** but if the Dr says I have to do it well I just need to suck it up (literally). We are also allowed 2 cups of non-carb veges, so I have a lot of stir fries.

So, how long do you have to be on this diet (sorry we don't have Thanksgiving, so not sure when it is)?

      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!
