Recommended Posts

Hi Acquilla...

I'm new too

and being banded on the 19th as well

and

started my 14 day pre-op diet yesterday too

how's it going so far?

I'm not too bad yet, but, it IS pretty GROSS

I agree Halo74, I threw away the rest of my first shake, it was so thick and I was at work...I will try tonight to make it into a shake with ice and a little skim milk to see if I can stand it.

I'm hearing people on here only have to do a two day liquid diet. I have to do a two week pre-op liquid diet. They want me lose 10lbs before the surgery so that liver can shrink. Do anyone else have to do the same?:thumbup:

Hey I feel for you. I know what 2 days are doing for me and can only image how it is for you. My doctor only requires 2 days but it is also on each person. I will keep you in mind prayers. :lol: How long have you been on your liquid diet? How are you doing on it? :thumbup:

Hi Peanutband,

I started my two week liquid diet yesterday and I'm doing ok so far. I wish I can do the two day liquid diet too. I'm doing the slimfast low-carb drinks and they are not that good. I'm going to try some chicken broth to switch it up. I see my Dr. tmrw, I got my clearance so I think they will be giving me a time to be at the hospital. This is a struggle for me because I cook for my family daily and the temptations are there, but I've done good not tasting the food.< /p>

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know to try the "Better Than Bouillon" for your broth, It's the best I've found so far. It's in a jar next to the bouillon cubes.

Yes, that's me. I was hoping to be getting prepared today but then I had a pipe bust and spent all day with emergency plumbers at the house.:thumbup: Despite everything I'm so excited, can't wait until tomorrow!!

      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!
