Hi twin for 10/1! You are so much more prepared than me:). My job has just been crazy lately and can barely get sleep in it seems. Can you share what your prep looks like so it could save me some time?

I'm October 1st. Wow, time has flown by. I started my self pay journey back in April and thought October 1st would never get here. Now, I have spent most of my time reading books, work books, YouTube videos, and mostly this forum for wisdom and insight for my upcoming journey.

OMG!!! I just ran out of coffee. I need to purge from caffeine and I start my pre op diet on the 24th. So, I have purchased some bulk organic black tea and caffeine free green tea. I will be mixing for the next few days until I get to Decaf status to avoid and "withdrawal" from caffeine. I don't drink much coffee, usually 2 or maybe 3 cups. However, my body may beg to differ with my summation of the caffeine debate. I am starting to pack as well. Oh yes...I am one of "those" people. Always way early and always prepared.

Well better go count my Q tips again (for the 30th time).

I went online to the BariatricPal Store and bought 1 packet oc chicken Bouillon , Beef Bouillon and a sample of the LuiquaCel Protein Squeezies. Today I was Just at Fred Meyer and found another brand of Beef and chicken broth and bought some of those as well. I'm not buying too many of anything as many contributors to this forum have talked about how much their taste changed after surgery.

I'm just taste testing these during my prep diet. I may buy more to have here when I get back home. I'm also testing how quickly my shipment gets here from BariatricPal store.

Right now is my packing dilemma! I have my jammies, but what else do I take? Crazy...right?

I have my surgery on 10/1. I just started my prep diet this morning. I've already made my basic clothing selections based on the weather forecast for Mexico. I'm just flat excited to get this journey underway!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, see you there!! I’m so glad I will recognize someone when I get down there. I’m going by myself so this is reassuring. I’m flying down Tuesday morning so maybe you will go first?

      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!
