I saw my Dr today and he wants me to see a cardiologist for testing to check me out for surgery. I will see him again 12/8. Thought I could start the 2 week diet sometime after T-day and be ready for it! What do you think?

:thumbup: I'm not worried about the diet(I should do it anyway) I just have to cut out a few things like bread, fruit, rice.....

Does your doctor require a "mindfull eating" seminar? I had to attend three group sessions with a psychologist to discuss destructive eating behaviors; and how to develop heathier eating habits. It was a lot more helpful than I thought it would be.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "two week diet". Are you referring to the all liquid diet many people do presurgery?

I would start assessing some of your eating habits and food purchases. I did not give up fruit before or after surgery. Apple Betty yes my granny smith's no. I did not give up bread entirely; but I did only buy really good bread and have one slice at a time (put it in the freezer). If you do decide against bread I find using Romain Lettuce leaves as wraps for sandwiches to be really good.

He didn't mention a seminar. Our 2 wk diet is low carb>no bread, fruit, rice, baked goods, peas, corn, baked Beans, potatoes, yogurt, and drink the hood calorie countdown milk only. I almost missed Thanksgiving, but I wouldn't mind so I could get the surgery. Now it'll be next month.

I started mine before i got date also. Which paid off for me. When they called to schedule my appt i got a date sooner. The diet isnt that bad for me. BUt i would love some rice or bread right now. lol:tongue2:

      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.

        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!
