pre-op diet?



Recommended Posts

For post op my nutritionist told me i must have 60 g of Protein a day. She said good Protein Drinks have 20g or over of protein and 200 calories or less per serving. She said not to worry about counting calories because she said noway am i going to be getting enough calories. She also said for the clear liquid phase to mix the gatorade g2 with a berry flavored Protein Powder she said it was delicious but i havent tried it yet.

@@Hnolan37 I'm so sorry I haven't been on in over 2 weeks! But I'm guessing you have already been in and out of your pre-op appointment. In general he makes sure you've lost the weight he is looking for you to lose pre-surgery, as well as any additional to show you are really trying. No nicotine test, but he will send you for your pre-op bloodwork to finish up within the month before surgery. I received my new date last month, so I am looking at a March 12th surgery, liquid diet starting next Thursday, the day after my final appt with him. He wanted me to lost 8 lbs this time around before seeing him next week, so I am really hoping I have hit that - having surgery postponed once is brutal enough! Hope it went well!

      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!
