Stating Pre-Op diet today



Recommended Posts

Started my diet today and so far it’s been ok. It’s 3:30pm and I’m starting to feel the hunger pains kick in. I’m going to eat dinner early and go to bed early. Any tips or tricks will be appreciated 😀

You can do it! My great trick was to drink Water and then try to fall asleep before the hunger came back. Avoid smells of food if you can. I used Vicks vapor rub below my nose to block out the smell of food cooking.

Drink lots of Water and if you’re allowed chew sugar free gum. I found the gum helped a ton with the need to chew.

If you put some chia seeds in the Water, the water becomes more filling, plus you get a little Protein and omega-3s out of it. 😃

Gum is a life saver.

I’d have died without it. Literally had different flavors for different cravings.

      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!
