I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids under 3. I have 7 days of torture...I mean liquid pre-op diet and today is only day 1. I'm allowed to have as many sugar free popsicles and Jello as I want, but I can't eat it infront of the kids or they will beg and whine for some and eat my whole stash! Making them Breakfast was no big deal this morning because I wasn't starving yet. I just made them a snack and I wanted to eat SO bad so I sent them in the other room to sit at their table so I could sneak a cup of jello. How do you guys do this? I want to eat popsicles and jellow like once an hour to keep my stomach from eating itself (well that's what it feels like anyway), but I can't!!!

Are you drinking Protein Drinks? That she help keep you feeling full. I only had to do one day liquid diet before surgery and after surgery 4 weeks (that was hell). Your Doctor's office should have given you a list of different liquids you can have. Good luck on your journey.

I can have 2 protein-ish drinks a day (atkins, slimfast, etc). I've already had one so I'm trying to wait on the other one. I can also have 2 c. raw beggies and 1 small fruit. I had the fruit at Breakfast so I'm trying to space things out a little. I wonder why all of the surgeons do things differently? They had a group of 6 of us doing the preop bloodwork and testing and told us all the same thing (regardless of current weight). So I guess that has nothing to do with it? I don't know, but it's torture already. And knowing that some only have to do 1 day (or none at all) makes it worse! Although I see that some have 2 whole weeks of it. Yikes. I'm excited to see the scale go down so I need to keep reminding myself of that. Oh well, off to meet with the surgeon for the last time before surgery next week! Thanks for the reply. :)

      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.

      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!
