Why??????

The best thing you can do for your kidneys and liver is stop eating JUNK, the GARBAGE that made us fat in the first place, that overloads the kidneys and liver, which is EXACTLY what is going to happen once you have the surgery and begin eating the right way again.

Not to forget all the Water you must consume everyday will help your system also.

One thing I have learned, and I am extremely thankful for, is that since having surgery and reaching a good point of adjustment, my food intake is very limited and I now choose healthy foods to eat. No more junk food. I also drink plenty of Water.< /p>

I have been set free from all those diet gimmicks and quick fixes seen on TV all the time. My body has never felt better, all done very naturally now with correct food, no more overeating, and plenty of exercise.

Also as a side note, because of the band I can no longer eat red meat or pork. So, I have also become an incidental vegetarian.

When I told my surgeon this, he laughed and said that can be a good thing, no?

I just thought maybe to clean out my system before surgery. I have changed my eating habits already now so I wont go into shock.

did your Dr give you a pre-op diet? If so, follow that and be assured it is enough. If you are not required to be on a pre- op, you can do one anyways. The most common seems to be low fat/low carbs/high Protein or a liquid diet with a quality Protein.< /p>

Follow your doctor's preop diet and instructions. I would avoid the cleansing tea or any other herbal remedies this close to surgery. Sometimes ingredients in those teas can impact things we don't realize, like how fast your blood clots.

Good luck with your journey.

NO!!!!! My doctor said no Vitamins or remedies for 2 weeks prior to surgery. As mentioned earlier these items can affect blood clotting and affect healing times.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
