Good Luck Peanut. It is only days away...Did you have to do pre op "mushies" diet? How did you do with it?

How did you get your tickerfactory to post here? I tried and had no success. I am not totally computer literate...LOL!

I am getting banded on 1/15. I am on the (I love this term) mushie diet right now, the shakes are pretty good, and the Soups are nice since it is sort of like a hot meal. Is anyone else having problems with diarrhea?:)

I'm getting banded on Jan 23rd; Pre-op testing on the 8th; & meeting with Dr on the 12th... Nervous & excited

I've been trying to explain it to my 11 & 8 yr old... They are really supportive & want to help any way possible - it's so sweet...

Me and my husband are getting banded on the 17th. we started the lliquid diet on saturday. I just can't get past the shakes we are trying the Atkins, whey, eas. The smell of the powder and liquid is what gets me and the after taste. I've done the Water and ice mixture. Any suggestion.

Surgery is scheduled for Thurs. Jan. 8th. I will meet the surgeon today. I'm counting down the days. I've been on the liquid diet since Dec. 26. Dropped 8 lbs so far. Good luck to all others about to be banded.-

I didn't have to go on a liquid diet before surgery - I just have to stay under the target weight the dr set for me. I'm currently 1 lb under & I'm doing slimfast optima for 1 or 2 meals a day in order to maintain...

I also have to do this around a hectic school schedule. I'm a Senior at the University with classes starting Jan 12th. With my surgery being on Friday the 23rd, I'm going to have to get back on my feet & make it to class that next Monday.

But it will be ok... No worry except keeping hydrated...

      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!
