The Final Countdown!



Recommended Posts

Hi all... well my operation will all be done this time next week... I am starting my 6 day milk diet tommorrow! Operation next sat (12th July)... I can't wait... so excited that I am finally getting it done after years of wishing could!

I never thought someone like me would be able to qualify for surgery given that my BMI is under 40... but I wish i'd enquired years ago now!!

I can't wait.......I just hope that I can cope with the milk diet given that I hate milk and it gives me a real bad stomach!! Oh well it'll be worth it in the end!

I am on the milk diet and have been told I can flavour with vanilla essence or Crusha 'no sugar' Syrup. It makes such a difference. Can also use coffee, but I don't like it with no sugar!

Best of luck.

Thank you all of you for your support... I must admit I am a bit nervous now! Can't believe its actually happening tomorrow morning!! The milk diet has been awful bearing in mind i hate milk and it makes me gag! I don't ever want to drink any milk again! Although I have had some Soup cuz another surgeon told me they only suggest milk & yogurt diets because some people can't work out or manage a low calorie/low fat diet which is all that is required!

I'm so excited & nervous & worried & glad!! I can't decide what I am!

      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!
