Hernia repair surgery is very similar in the diets and incisions. I googled it to make sure. After reading that I plan to tell people that I had hernia repair surgery and that I lost so much weight from the pre and post op diets that I decided to keep it up. Not eating much for 7 weeks will definitely reduce your portion sizes when you do start eating again.
Have a great day!

Hubby won a gift card for Longhorn Steakhouse so even though Sunday will be my last meal before my pre op diet, we decided to go out tonight. It was wonderful; rib eye with baked potato stuffed mushrooms and a ginger ale. Tomorrow will be my last margarita...haven’t had one in a few years (haven’t had any alcohol in over a year) but it sounds good lol. Hubby is happy because after surgery I will be a really cheap date...since a shot glass full of puréed veggies will fill me up [emoji23]


Have a great day!

My surgery is also on the 21st but my liquid diet starts today. You can do this [emoji1377] it is not going to be easy, this is definitely not the easy way to getting healthier. Just try to look at it from a different perspective, maybe he is getting takeout so that you won’t have to do the cooking. I will still be cooking for my hubby & 4 kids, it is hard fighting the thoughts of wanting to give in and just eat but we have to fight it. Looking around and seeing all of the Snacks I love but can’t have is annoying as heck. But if we can’t do this for a few days then how can we do it after surgery?
It is just food, don’t let it control you. You’ve got this, everyday is a new opportunity to get it right.


Have a great day!

Than you so much! Good luck to you!

Ooh, cheese sounds good. I skipped right over that in my Quest to ignore food. [emoji106]

That is what my NUT said too. She said to measure out 1 ounce of ice chips (they use plastic cups that are 1 ounce each) and just one at a time let them dissolve on your tongue.


Have a great day!

I hear ya. I made my kids dinner and I keep thinking one bite won’t hurt. I haven’t given in but the temptation is there.

I was sleeved 11/13, discharged 11/14 and i couldn't keep anything down, broth, Water, Protein or medication. Im on day 4, gas has subsided with chewable gas x. Sip the water, never gulp and if you have access to a chik fi la or Sonics, get a bag of ice chips! It will help with water intake and for dry mouth also biotene.

Congrats!!! I’m on day 6 of 2(ish) week preop diet...full liquids. I’d love a piece of cheese or something right now! (As I eat my popsicle)
Good luck tomorrow! ❤️

I am on day 14. Yay! Surgery tomorrow.

Thanks. You too you're almost there. Hope all goes well.

You're doing so great! I'm struggling with getting up and down with this pinched nerve - I keep laughing and it's making it worse! I can't help it! But doing the heating pad as recommended. Fluid I'm doing about 40oz but I don't feel dehydrated or light headed. Getting my little walks in, too! Can't believe tomorrow will be a week. One more week of liquids and then I can start my pureed on Thanksgiving. Is anyone hungry? I'm not really. food looks good but the thought of having to eat makes me kinda sick.

I’m 2 days post op. i’m home now and i feel great! Good luck to all you November 2017 sleevers!

I'm sorry to say. I would just follow your plan despite what anyone else is doing. Though I was allowed coffee the day after surgery. It made me shake and act strange. So I have one very weak. With a Protein shake..so protein coffee.

Lol that is probably very true. Any studying I do get in will be a confusing mess lol. I am doubling up on it now so hopefully I can just rest in the hospital [emoji1360]


Have a great day!

I had my surgery yesterday morning!! I feel great today. A little sore but so glad I went through it. He found a large hiatal hernia and a whole in my esophagus. But he patched me all up and I am doing great. Just waiting for my leak test, then I can go home!!

Headed back to the OR! See you all on the other side! :-)
