Hi everyone. I've been a lurker soaking in everyone's advice and support. Finally got approval and date and was told I would not do a liquid diet prior to surgery. Has anyone else experienced this??

Thanks so much!!

The only thing my doc required was 24 hours of Clear Liquids before surgery.

I didn't have to do the liquid pre-op diet.

For 2 weeks before surgery, I did a low carb, low fat diet and was allowed either chicken, eggs, or fish for my Proteins. My meat portions were weighed out to 3 ounces. I was allowed a small portion of non-starchy veggies with lunch and dinner. I was also allowed a Protein Shake a day.

The only time I had to do all Clear Liquids was the day prior to surgery.

Everyone's plan is a little different, it just depends on the surgeon.

Since I lost 100 pounds during my six month pre-op diet program, my surgeon didn't require me to do a pre-op liquid diet. I did it for 3 days pre-op of my own accord to help me get in the liquid mindset as I knew I was going to have to do it for 3 weeks post-op.

I'm on my pre-op diet now, which only requires staying under 40g of carbs/day and getting in 60-80g of Protein. I was surprised to hear that was my surgeon's requirement because I expected liquids, but I'm glad for it! All of the protein is giving me ideas for what I might want in high rotation after 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'. ???

        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.

        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!
