Guess you were very fortunate to get into such a good program! 🤗 I was very disappointed in my program, but I don’t know if it is normally better, or if Covid disrupted everything. I had videos but they were more the psychological side of things.


I was so very fortunate and very impressed with my program at Blossom Bariatrics. They leave no stone unturned and no question unanswered.

You will be done before you know it. Had mine last week. Just know there will be discomfort as they will fill your gut with air.

I didnt know this before hand and wish someone had informed me.

My gall bladder was so bad the air/gas pain was just a mild discomfort for me.

Good morning everyone! I am on day 5 of my 12 day liquid diet. I feel great (physically) and had no idea how I would be emotionally. I am hungry and pissed. I have literally asked my spouse and children if their food taste as good as it smells...while I stare at them. I'm turning into a weirdo. Lastly, I don't fart in front of my husband. Night toots don't count and he picks on me about those! However, I am panicking about the gas and stomach pressure on the plane flying home the day after surgery. My surgery is on the 25th. This is hard.

Ask your dr about the flying right after surgery thing

For me I know I ended up needing to stay at hospital for 2 nights because of the discomfort

The wanting to eat has been getting to me while my family eats. I have to refrain as I am only 1 week post surgery. I try to occupy my mind elsewhere.

Good luck next week, yikes the day before Thanksgiving.

Thanks so much for that idea! I never heard of it before but I’ll look for it! Where do you find it?

I order it on Amazon but I’m sure you could get it at the grocery store

When I had to give up coffee for the pre op diet I was a f-Ing ray of sunshine for days. Irritability is pretty common through the liquid diet phase. Luckily I live alone and didn’t have to deal with food smells, just tv commercials.

Your doctors will give you meds for the gas and bloating which will help. I didn’t pass gas for a few days. Even if you pass gas on the plane, you aren’t going to see any of those people again. You’ll be ok.

sending positive thoughts 🥰

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
