Pre-op Friends -- What did you eat today?



Recommended Posts

I am on day two of my pre-op diet. I'm sticking to it but I'm struggling at the same time. I thought I would struggle less on a workday with all of the distractions -- WRONG. At least at home I could just take a nap.

I've had two Protein Shakes and a Protein Soup so far today. I'm looking forward to a sugar-free Jello and some chicken broth later. What's your plan for getting through the day?

You can do it just drink a lot of Water keeps you full. Drink lots of broth. I also drank a lot of Ice tea. Stay busy do things so you don't think about food.

Thanks Icemom. I'm not getting nearly enough Water. In fact, barely any. I have to do better with Water.

I'm on day 8 of my pre-op diet and today has honestly been one of the worst in terms of cravings. I did a lot of heavy duty housework yesterday and my muscles are killing me -- I think this might be why Protein Shakes just aren't cutting it today! So far I've had a shake, a Protein pudding, and a sf Jello for lunch. I'm about to have my second shake before class, and then tilapia with a cucumber salad for dinner (my plan allows real food for one meal, thank god!). I've also been sipping on Propel Water and diet citrus green tea!

Today was the easiest for me because I wasn't home all day. It's a lot harder when I am home to not have cravings. Frosty Protein shake, string cheese and baby carrots, two poached eggs over a bed of greens.

My is surgery date is 04-04-2016 and I'm on second day of Pre-Op diet. I'm with you Tobysgirl already dying of hunger. :-( Mine isn't a total liquid diet, I am able to eat one lean Protein and veggies a day, and drink 4 Protein shakes, popsicle, broth, and pickles. I can do this but my stomach is saying no way!!! I counted it's right around 1000 calories a day for two long, very, long weeks.

You all can do it. It's hard but doable. I had my surgery on 5/29/15.

Do you know about plant nanny? If u like games or old school Tamigochi. ...you drink, you get to Water your plant. But, it uses the drink half your body weight oz so just double your required oz per day. Funny way to stay motivated to get your Water in.

      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!
