Hello,

I did some research on what is a good Bariatric online group to join. I cam across this one. I am quite nervous about getting surgery done tomorrow. I wanted to ask if any of you were on the post-op diet for only a day. I had my appointment on Wednesday and my surgery date is Tomorrow, did not give me much time to diet. That only gave me a few days to diet. My Dr. didn't ask me to go on liquid diet until a day before my surgery. He did mention not to gain weight though. Did any of you guys encounter such issue? If so, did your surgery get cancelled for weight gain or fatty liver?

your dr has examined you and knows the issues. each one of us is different. I have heard everything from one day to a month but it all depends on the surgeon. trust him. I was not on a liq diet at all. also just told to not gain weight and I had a laproscopic rny. never had any trouble and ate kfc mac and cheese for my first meal out of the hosp. of course could only eat three bites. I have done great with no issues but dr knew my liver was fine from all the pre surgery testing. I sure wish you the best of luck tomorrow

I read on this site that alot of people went thru the 2 week pre-op deit. I spoke to my dct and he said it was mandatory to be on the deit. So I chose to do it anyway and it worked out fine. I trust your surgeon knows what to do you will be fine

Pray it goes smoothly today as I'm sure it will! Typically they want two week of Liver Reduction Diet but I only did one and was approved for one because I was not severely obese. So I did a full week of nothing but smoothies the week before but again trust your surgeon and most of all your higher power. Let us know how you do please.

My surgeon only requires 1 day of pre-op diet too which scared me because I hear everyone else talking about 2 weeks or longer. But I'm trusting them and trying to eat healthy for this last week (surgery on the 25th). Best of luck!

      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!
