I did not have a pre op diet. I was part of a six month managed plan that started at 2000 calories per day and ended at 1700 per day. I lost 42 pounds pre op and my BP and vitals were much improved. Surgeon said any liver reduction had been accomplished along the way, so no special diet.

I have a 1200 calorie a day pre-op diet from my bariatric department. There are specific food groups I have to eat at certain times and everything is weighed and measured. I only have a liquid diet for 24 hours prior to surgery.

My pre-op dirt is going with me to the grave! ;):lol:

All jokes aside, my surgeon didn't require one.

Two weeks of Protein shakes for breakfast/lunch and a lean and green dinner. First 5 days was hard, but then after that, I was all good.

3 days clear liquids....low sodium broth, Water, sf Jello, Decaf tea is all we are allowed. Surgery is tomorrow... th eonly good thing about the preop is I can't wait for it to end.... so surgery nerves have diminished some

OMG! I was so very hungry all day! I hope I can continue this. Good news, my blood sugar was 106 tonight, thats the lowest it has been in months.

I am 6 months from surgery. I have 6 months of nutritional counseling to do. I am excited and nervous about starting the journey. But I have a great physician, and I am looking for the woman I ate (doubled my size) to leave me!!!

      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!
