When is your surgery? If you are close to surgery I wouldn't suggest taking anything without first speaking with your surgeon/NUT first....including over-the-counter supplement/suppressants.

It's hard to answer the question without knowing what your dietary restrictions are. Each program is different.

  • When is your surgery?
  • What type of diet have you been prescribed? liquid only? Low Carb?
  • Have you talked with your surgeon/NUT to see what they recommend?

Without knowing some of this it's hard to give suggestions.

I didn't have a liquid only restriction so I'll tell you what helped me, but again, without knowing what your dietary restrictions are, this is just my experience and not a suggestion for your specific situation. Steamed veggies...high Fiber veggies worked best pre-op for me. Broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, leafy greens kept me feeling full the longest. I was also allowed a lean Protein with each of my meals as well. That coupled with the high-fiber veggies did the trick.

Let us know a little more and I'm sure you'll get the help you need but I would speak to my surgeon/NUT before taking anything prior to surgery.

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
