Pre-op liquid "D" word.



Recommended Posts

Okay so I'm a couple days into this pre-op liquid food plan and I must say I'm not a fan!

I've been on a lot of different eating regiments but never this -- it sucks.

No I'm not gonna quit, what're you take me for.

I'm just bitching around here that's all!

Thank God I had NO pre op diet whatsoever. My dr said just to have a light dinner the night before and nothing after midnight. So, my "light" dinner consisted of a slab of ribs, a baked potato, salad and cheesecake from Outback. I considered that light at the time. I barely made it on the 4 weeks liquid diet afterwards. If it weren't for Tomato Soup I probly would've starved to death.

Good luck to you. It WILL be over soon and you'll be on your way to a new you! I promise you it will be worth it!

Honestly I am sooooo thankful that I had a 10-day liquid pre-op diet. It shrank my stomach and thought me what real hunger is. I have no issues telling the difference between real hunger and head hunger now. I think it made the food progressions after surgery so much easier.

Focus on the prize of surgery, keep reminding yourself this is only temporary. Others have done it, you can do it.

I does suck, no doubt about that! The good news is it does get better. Hard to believe, huh! Hang in there friend and try to stay busy so you don't think about food. It's okay to vent here.

Today is day 4 for me and I think my hardest yet. I can smell everything. Even ketchup smells good to me. How long are you on the liquids?

After day 4 it gets easier. Looking back I can't believe i made it through. So glad I did though. I'm 4 1/2 months out and I'm 62 lbs down. Boo yah!

You can do it. This is the beginning to your success story!

I am on day 4 and feeling little better. My doc rx 2 Protein Shakes and low-fat, low-carb meal at night. Not my favorite way of eating but I know I have to get used to eating a whole lot less. Good luck to you. I'm rooting for all of us.

      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!
