Prayer.

and flavor extract.

I'm on day 8 pre; with 10 days pre to go

after hits and misses with the premade kinds, i was close to edge as the smell and after taste were going to send me over the cliff; i

I finally got a clue from surgeon's staff and bought the unjury mix... thank goodness... no aftertaste;

it just dawned on me to mix it with milk rather than Water (package says 6-8 oz of either, however 8 oz Water is too much and 6 is pretty good; will try it at 4-5 in the morning, and it in power blender with ice

Blending the Protein Drinks in the blender with ice makes it so much better. You feel like you are getting a lot too. Popscicles and Jello will also help you feel like you are eating something. If you drink Unjury I understand that the stawberry flavor tastes good mixed into Lemonade Crystal Light.

I've been on Clear Liquids for a week, and have lsot 7.5 pounds. It is hard but it gets easier. After day 4I had enough energy to exercise and work.

I treasure my two daily yogurts and get by on lots of Jello. What has saved me is broth-sometimes, you need something hot! Get a vcariety pack of Protein shakes to keep it fresh. COnsider picking up some chicken broth at a Chinese or Vietnamese restaurant for a "treat."

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
