bloating whilst on pre op diet

keisha85 · July 14, 2008

has anyone experienced bloating whilst on pre op diet. as i have got it really badly this morning. i had chicken, rice and veg (small portion) last night and was fine, however i did not manage to sleep well ast night due to external commotions. and went to sleep feeling hungry. I now feel very bloated, even though i had not eaten anything until i had a yoghurt, thought that would settle what ever it is that is causing it, however it has possibly made it worse.

has anyone experienced this? i am worried it is going to affect my pre op checks tomorrow if it does not sort itself out.

Hi Sarah,

I started my liquid diet Saturday, I have not had any problems with bloating. However, I cannot have solid foods like you are so our diets are different. The three Protein shake meals are keeping me ok so far. With sugar free popsicles for Snacks. I am staying busy and out of the house.

thanks for your reply. i am allowed 1000 calories a day, so am glad i am not on the liquid diet as alot of people are. i went to get the past, 2 flights of stairs above the office and when i came back it had virtually gone. so fingers crossed it wont happen again, because it was very uncomfortable. il understand if it does after i have had my op, as it will have some link to it. how long are you on pre-op diet?

Hi Sarah,

My surgery date is July 28th. I started with the initial consult on May 14th and now the date is just around the corner. I cannot wait!! I have lost 12 lbs since that appointment, and hope the liquid diet for the next two weeks removes another 12 from this body. LOL. Good Luck to you!:smile2:

good luck to you also. i had my pre op this mroning and it really sunk in to what i was actually doing and i wasnt just watching from the side lines. i am so glad i am not on the liquid diet, but i would happily follow it if that is what i was required to do.
