Pre op must haves!?!



Recommended Posts

I know some docs and nuts have different pre op diet plans but my allowed must haves were ice pops...its the only thing you can really chew during this time, and I really REALLY missed the action of chewing my food lol. Besides that I would go to the local japanese restaurant and order a quart of their clear Soup to go...just scoop out the mushrooms. The sodium in that was probably a bit high but my doc didn't seem to mind that. Good luck!! You got this!

I couldn't have done it without the right attitude.

Just know the first couple days on liquid diet you will be hungry, cranky, tired, weak, etc. On the 3rd day I was fine
And started to be satisfied to the point I did not feel like I was starving. I miss chewing food, SF popsicles are great!
I am on day 8 and I feel I will make ok until the 12th for my surgery. Good luck!

I m scheduled for September 18th and just started the pre liquid diet 3 days ago. Today I find myself gagging at the smell of the Protein Shakes. They said I should have 60 grams of Protein and the shakes have 30g so technically I only need 2 shakes a day. What other liquids have others tried besides broth, Jello and SF ice pops. Thanks

Herbal tea, though I admit I didn't have a lot of it. I couldn't have made it without Crystal Light!

      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.

      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!
