Looks like your menu would be way more enjoyable with the yogurt and hot cereals. I start mine Wednesday I hope its not too difficult.20211226_060953.jpg

Oh wow yours is strictly liquid! I was told no slimfast because it has too much sugar in it. Good luck with you diet and surgery! I'm sure you will be able to get through it!

Yes it funny how different they are. My dietitian said Protein Shakes need to be under 5 grams of sugar, under 200 calories and high Protein. I've been doing the Premier Protein. Good luck to you too.

I take my hat off to all who are on the pre-op diet during Christmas and New Years. I am nervous about the pre op diet all by itself let alone during the holidays which are usually centered around food. CONGRATULATIONS rather you realize it or not that is no small task and just wanted to encourage all keep it up. I start Jan 4th😬

Mine is as follows:

Starting on January 4th, avoiding carbs, no fruit, no yogurt. I will be using a Protein Shake for 2 of my meals, and my other meal will be lean Protein and vegetables. The day before surgery (1/10) I will be on a liquid diet. 3-4 Protein Shakes a day and sugar-free Clear Liquids.

My surgery is Jan 11 (with luck as long as I don't get cancelled)

      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!
