You can eat most all foods after. I didn't have a chance to eat anything as I was camping when I got the call to schedule surgery and my pre-op appt was the day we came home, which was less than two weeks out. I started my diet that day. Which was 6 days from the date of surgery. I could eat a small Protein based meal and two Protein shakes a day.

I can now eat about anything I want, just in smaller sized portions and I really don't "miss" anything. When I look at the piece of pie or whatever I see hours on the treadmill and don't want to have to workout any longer than I do(which is about an hour and half a day). That makes motivation a lot easier to STAY away from those items:)

Good luck to you, I look forward to hearing your journey in a few weeks!!!

I'm ten days into my pre-op diet and I did do a last meal thing (it was Thanksgiving) and I just had a bit of everything that I wanted instead of following my low carb ways that I've been practicing since last July. THEN it turned into the next day and next day and I had a terrible time with my first four days on my liver shrink diet. I think I would've been way better off if I didn't let myself indulge that way. I even had a breakdown on day four and ate bread and a muffin. They were no where near as good as I thought they would be, but I've been so so so so hungry since I've been on the pre-op diet. Surgery on Monday so I'll hang in there, I don't think it's worth it to have the last meal(s) -_-

I went off my diet right before the liquid diet. The first week of the liquid diet I was able to have one meal at dinner time so at least I had something to look forward too. The second week of the diet is all liquid. It was pretty hard especially lasagna night! I stayed out of the kitchen and sat in a different room while my family ate in the dining room. I don't regret going off my diet. The first day of the liquid diet was the worse day because I felt bloated and tired. My son put a picture on the refrigerator that says, "It's worth it and I love you." He's only 10 but gets what I'm going through sometimes better than my husband. Surgery is Monday and I have one family Christmas dinner this weekend. I'm planning on taking a shake with me and some sugar free Jello.< /p>

your son is correct and very wise for his age. Shows that you did a good job raising him!!!! It is only two more days and I know that you will be tempted but think of the long term goals you have!! You can do this!!!!

      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!
