Pre-Op Liquid Diet gained weight? Help



Recommended Posts

So I'm actually 3 1/2 weeks out from surgery but decided to start my liquid diet early because my surgeon threatened me that if I didn't loose more weight before my pre-op visit he would cancel it. I have been doing the liquid diet now for 8 days. I was on a roll and had lost 11 lbs as of Sunday the 6th day. Then the morning of the 7th day I weigh myself and I have GAINED 4 lbs!! WTF! How is that even possible? I weighed myself again today and it's the exact same as yesterday. I'm so confused what is the problem? I just finished my menstrual cycle so it surely can't be that. My pre-op visit is next week and I need to lose 11 lbs from were I am right now! It was so much better the other day. I only had 6 lbs to lose. I feel like I'm so screwed. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Tina

So sorry to hear you are struggling. What are you eating on your liquid diet? It might help to understand your current diet in order to help you.

I'm drinking Boost liquid nutrition 4 times a day.

Is Boost what she told you to use? Boost has 240 calories, I don't know the rest of the details. Get Premier Protein - 130 calories, 30 grams Protein.

Yeah my surgeon told me I have to use Boost 4 times a day. He said the Premier Protein isn't a complete nutrition drink and doesn't have all the nutrients in it that I need.

      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!
