Hi suecasb and everyone,

My doctor is Adam Smith in Fort Worth, TX. I have started the high Protein diet and have been pretty happy with it. Have lost 16 pounds. Getting nervous. Monday (3/10/08) I go to the hospital for lab, X-ray and EKG. Had surgery last year and my EKG came out bad and had to go a carido doctor. before they would operate. All checked ok. Just thinking to much I guess.

Hope all of you are doing well and keeping your spirits up!

Hi, All! My surgeon is Dr. Ann Rogers at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, Hershey PA (where I'm also employed - secretary to chief of cardiology). I started my Liquid Protein fast yesterday - think this will be a long week. :-) Hopefully being at work will make it go fast. My strategy last night was to go to bed so I wouldn't have to think of eating.

I have my pre-op appointment this afternoon. Had to stop all liquids as of 1 am this morning. Could really use a cup of coffee this morning! Getting excited and scared at the same time. Reading about Fenton and the others have helped calm the nerves a bit. I just need to take things one step at a time.

Went shopping this weekend to get my Protein drinks ready for next week. DH had been very supportive.

Hang in there gages62 (Rachel) it will all be worth it.

      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!
