Enjoying last night before liquid diet



Recommended Posts

My husband referred to this as the "Last Supper". We had gone to a great steak house. I had a porter house and he had the fillet. It was delicious. Now that I am sleeved I can't even imaging consuming that much.

Good Luck to you on the liquid diet and your upcoming surgery. Just remember every pound you lose at this stage gets you to goal sooner.

I just had my last meal too! Oddly I didn't eat a favorite or anything like that. It was just a meal I had in my freezer. I had imagined my last meal as more spectacular. Oh well!

I'm scared for the liquid diet but it helps me knowing that my surgeon doesn't make it mandatory. I have some fruit and raw veggies on hand just in case!

Also, I took my pre-surgery pictures today because most people lose 10+ lbs on the liquid diet.< /p>

You know what's crazy? I started my pre-op diet on October second and I've already lost 10 pounds! Not exercising or anything- just sticking to my diet exactly. My diet consists of 3 Protein shakes and 2- 100 calorie yogurts. Still have 9 more days before surgery.

Charlie, typically they put you on a high Protein liquid diet before surgery to shrink/improve the quality of your liver prior to surgery. I could be wrong but it may have to do with your BMI? Most people on this forum have to do it but I know that I've read that some people don't. I had to get a special 'Bariatric Advantage' Protein Meal Replacement powder.

Not all surgeons require this. Mine does. Today is my first day on the liquid diet. 5 shakes a day. Find myself not hungry at all. I actually had to just make myself have a last "shake". I've been using my powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury samples, and what a difference it makes in hunger. The store stuff leaves me hungry. This stuff doesn't.

I actually heated up soy milk and mixed in chocolate Protein powder. Was kind of tasteless but still ok enough to finish.

      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!
