Pre-op diet, "I cheated"



Recommended Posts

I am on day 9 of my 14-day pre-op diet. I cheated today and ate an Atkins candy bar/snack thingy. I feel bad, well sorta :o)

However, my real question is about after surgery, will these Atkins items be something we can eat?

Caramel Nut Chew bar

1-G sugar

130-calories

2-G Net carbs

The back says 17-G Carbs, but 6-G dietary Fiber and 1-G Sugar and 9-G Sugar Alcohol. Any information would be great. Thank you.

You should probably check with your surgeon or RD/NUT. They should give you a guideline of how many Proteins, fats, and carbs to eat at each meal. Also, some people have difficulty with sugar alcohol....some dump on it, for others it triggers sugar or carb cravings.

I agree with Ricky. I know that surgeons have different expectations/directions so you should consult with them. When I am finally blessed to have surgery I hope to be as compliant as possible.

      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!
