Countdown to Surgery....



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Today starts my 7 day pre-op 1,000 calorie diet. I know I can do this, I have to do this! I saw my surgeon last week and he said please do the diet it shrinks the liver and makes the surgery easier for me and you. I can't believe it's a week away-March 18, looking forward to this new Chapter in my life. I could not do this without all of you.

Can someone tell me exactly how to paste my ticker. I created it but don't know how to paste it?

Thanks,

Corgi

Yay Corgi!!! One more week!!! You'll do the pre-op diet just fine...whatever it takes!

There's a few threads about the ticker thingy...go to "Need help..." by beachbabe(soon) and to "weight scale at bottom of message" by Rachel. Those may help. Good Luck!

Congrats on your week count down.. you'll do great on the post-op diet. Many have to do it for 2 weeks. So you'll do fine. I wish you Luck & speedy healing!

Paula,

I need to loose at least 100lbs, I work with someone who lost 98, and I know another person who lost 90. So I can do this...

      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!
