Pre-op Liquid Diet question



Recommended Posts

I'm starting my Pre-op liquid diet this coming weekend Nov 9th and Surgery the 24th. Any suggestions or warnings about the phases of the pre-op diet? I read a couple of blogs about loose bowel movements or severe hunger the first few days. My Dr is letting me eat as many Green Veggies I want, plus 3 Protein Shakes a day. I hate the consistency of milk shakes, so I'm having a hard time finding the right protein..so far I have tried powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Jay Robb eggwhite Protein and nectar.. so far I like the nectar protein best. not to sweet. anybody else have the same instructions for pre-op diet???

I am 1 week post op and also had to do the 2 week full liquid pre-op and did Unjury chocolate shakes 2 times daily and Soup at night. (No veggies like you) My soup could be hearty soup, even turkey chili, just not cream based Soups. It was tough the first 4 days. No stomach issues ever I just wanted to chew something and as much as I loved the shakes, I was soooooo tired of them after the first week. I never in my life looked so forward to soup in my entire life! Lol! After, much of the same but it's easier because you don't want to eat. At least I haven't. I had the Plication with the band.

I used Premier Protein ready made shakes, I liked them. I recommend G2 or Vitamn Water Zero to keep your electrolytes in balance. It helped with hydration, headaches and the light headedness.

Good luck!

      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!
