Starting my liquid diet today. Help?



Recommended Posts

Hello wonderful people....today I am starting my liquid diet. I am scheduled for the 29th of august. My surgeon requires that I lose or maintain my current weight but from what I have been reading I decided to take it upon myself to lose some visceral fat, especially around my liver. I have two cartons of chicken broth and have no clue what I'm doing. What were your liquid diets like?

Did you receive a nutrition guide from your surgeon's office?

This is what is on my list for the pre-op liquid phase, but every surgeon is different. May be worth a call to the office!

Pre-op Liquid Phase (2 weeks prior to surgery)

Water

Decaf Coffee/Tea

SF Jello

SF Popsicles

broth

1% Skim Milk

LF Cottage cheese

Light (RedCal) Yogurt

Low Carb Protein shakes

SF pudding

No sugar added fudgesicles

No sugar added hot choc

LF Creamy Soups (strained)

Tomato Soup

Unsweetened applesauce

Cream of wheat/oatmeal or grits (1x per day)

My pre-op diet was 2 Protein shakes and a healthy meal every day. Even with the one meal, that was a very tough 2 weeks. Good luck!

This is good. Much better than what they gave me.

      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!
