Can you have salad on your pre-op diet?

Can you eat vinaigrette or Italian dressing (light of course) with the high Protein diet...just like a small amount

progress starts in the mind

Figured another new guy would join in. I'm on Day #9. First few days were rough. I think days 3 & 4 were the hardest, but once I got over that hump it hasn't been near as bad as I thought it would be. For the past couple of weeks (when I was eating regular food) I would substitute some meals with chicken bullion and a couple of saltine crackers. Personally that helped me mentally prepare a bit more for it. I'm down almost 10 pounds since I started last week so it's paying off. Less than a week to go until my surgery.

Thanks for the welcome :) I go in on the 25th. I know it's an entirely different journey on the other side, but will be glad when this part is finally over with.

There will be ups & downs, but hang in there. I honestly am used to it now and while I miss the act of eating I'm not "mourning" like I was this past weekend. There were some nights where it was like screw it I'm going to bed because I didn't want to think about it anymore...lol

@bill1130 I am on my second shake for the day and I did have half a yogurt (as per my plan) but I am not allowed to take any pills pre-op so I haven't had any Vitamins in 3 days.

@orionburn Wow you're almost there! I'm just a few days after you, mine is scheduled for the 31st.

I know, my kids are spending the weekend at grandmas, so I plan on sleeping the whole time! LOL

      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!
