Recommended Posts

Has anyone been on thier pre op diet while traveling? I didn't have room to take my binder of info and I drew a blank on what and how much to drink and eat. So I'm just doing one meal per day Protein Drinks the rest and Water. I'm in day 4, my son's bday is tomorrow and my family reunion this weekend... Uggghh!! No bday cake for me.

I traveled, but I am on shakes only no food until the day before clear liquid so it was easy for me.

Good Luck!

I am traveling for work during the two week prep diet. My doctors office puts you on a low carb high protien 900 calorie diet of pre packaged foods. I just needed to make sure I had a fridge and microwave to survive. I'm realizing how much of my night when traveling is based on shopping, eating and drinking. I dont want to shop because I hope to be wearing smaller sizes soon, cant eat out or drink. I'm bored to death lol

@mimidi Just curious, but does your doctor's office sell you those pre-packaged foods? What do you mean by "food" during your pre-op liquid period? Is your pre-op diet one week, 10 days, or two weeks?

It's two weeks but not liquid. They have an outlet bv to get vfc the foods but they are name brand stuff. Protien bars, drinks, dinners from health wise brand. They gave us al list to pick from. the diet consists of: one Breakfast item like oatmeal, protien bar, a Soup for lunch, afternoon protien drink, packaged dinner and one more snack. It is pre packaged so they can control the portions and protien intake.

Sorry should have proofread this! Yes we can buy the foods there, but bv they are all available online through other sources. I bought several on Amazon prior to now.

      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!
