Hello - I am new here.

My surgery date is 3/24/08.

I am on my 5th day of pre-op diet. I have done really well except I need to drink more Water (only taking in about 48 - 50 oz per day).

I do have the urge to cheat - cravings for Mexican food today - it's Friday and we use to go out to eat at our favorite Mexican Restaurant on Fridays - but I will make it without cheating!!!

I know I will learn so much for all of you!!

Have a great day,

Karen

Karen, I have my surgery on the 18th and the doctor did not mention any pre-surgery diet. Am I suppose to be on something.

From what I have read here, doctors are very different in the Pre-Op diet. Seems like most doctors do require the Clear Liquids the day before. Did yours mention anything about a liquid diet one day prior?

Best of luck to you on the 18th. Please let me know how you are doing!!

Karen, My surgery was yesterday and suprisingly enough, I'm doing really well. I've been on liquids all day yesterday and starting this morning. I'm not hungry, but the areas on my stomach are a bit sensitive. My sister is staying with me and we are having a blast just haning out. My mother has my twins for Spring break, so far so good. Best of luck on your upcoming surgery. Marisa

Marisa - I am so glad you are doing ok. Just sore?? Did you spend the night at the hospital?? I have so many questions!!

Anyway, take care and get rest. I am so excited for you and excited for mine on Monday.

Have a great day,

Karen

      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!
