Hi! Hang in there. I too have 9 days to go before surgery and this diet is really testing me. I had to go to a friends graduation party yesterday and it was catered by my favorite BBQ restaurant in town. It was soooo tough standing there with my bottle of Water watching everyone eat and smelling the food. But I did not give in. Just remember it's all about the head hunger. We can do this!!

You are alone.... You will make it through this time. Think of ways to distract yourself, get out and move, be as creative with the liquids as possible. There is a wonderful pay off at the end. Keep us posted on how surgery goes. You have come a long way to get this far, try not to let your tastebuds get in the way! Good Luck. Heather:thumbup:

      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!
