Just take it one day at a time! sugar free pospicles were my savior, I like the sugar free bomb pops, you can crunch on them so you get the chew factor. By day 3, not much sounded good anymore and I wasn't very hungry, but then again, I only had to do it for 5 days.

You can do this!

My pre-op was only 1 day. Funny how different doctors have different guidelines. Maybe it goes by individual?

I dont know what youre preop diet consists of but I will tell you that day 1 for me I wanted to eat my arm!! I was SOOOOO hungry and wondered how I would do it for 10 days. BUT...day 2 was SOOOO much easier and I ended up breezing through the 10 days without a single slip up. YOU CAN DO IT!! Mind over matter...it's a short time when compared to the rest of your life! :) Stay strong friend!!

My pre-op diet is only Clear Liquids. I am not sure how creative you can get with clear liquids for 5 days.

Today is day two for me and I'm hearing so many people say the can have one meal and sugar free Jello. Mine is pure liquid. 3-4 Protein Shakes and unlimited Water or propel. Yesterday was hard but today is better. I weight myself and lost 2 lbs so this helps me to want to do better. Keep focused. You'll do great.

I am on day 3 and its getting better. I was provided a list of acceptable Proteins like beef Jerky, turkey weiners, eggs etc along w the Protein shakes. I'm equipped and prepared for these next 9 days.

I think the first two was torture!

We can do it!

      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!
