Hows The Pre Op Diet Going?



Recommended Posts

I was doing ok until today. The smell of these shakes is nauseating. So I'm going to regroup and try to find something that I can tolerate. Hope your doing better than I am....LOL!

When I was on my pre op, after day 1, I went and bought a bag of straws, I couldn't stand the smell.....lots of ice in a blender, straws and even a bit of flavoring (sf syrups, defcaf instant coffee). It does get better.

My huge case of Unjury arrived today. I was tempted to taste it, then I said, "Nah" I'm gonna be tasting nothing but starting in a week or so!

My surgery date is October 5th-- just less than a week of this Pre-op diet- - I was feeling pretty good up until yesterday, I ended up with an awful headache- I figure it was because I didn't drink enough water- feeling better today-- I don't think I have lost much weight on the diet-- but my surgeon wanted it to focus on shrinking my liver-- hopefully that is happening!! I don't mind my Protein shakes-- however I am getting sick of all the sweetness!!! Hope you are all doing well!!

(Im getting excited!!)

How is it today everyone? Are you drinking shakes made with ice in a blender or just shakes in milk? Does anyone make them w soy or almond milk? Has anyone tried the Unjury cheese powder?

Good luck w/ your pre-op!

I recall being told (or reading in the post-op materials) not to drink from a straw. I believe because it's very easy to drink too much too fast. Pre-op straws, no issue.

Where did you order the unjury? The chocolate is fantastic and I'd love to get more (a friend game me hers).

Started my pre op diet today. First shake was horrible so I added some cocoa powder and vanilla extract to my chocolate lunch shake and it went down a little better. I cant stand the smell so I hold my breath while drinking...lol

I am a little hungry between shakes but nothing I cant handle.

I put mine jn one lf those Water cups that have a lid with a straw-- this way you can avoid the smell- You can pick them up for a couple bucks at the dollar store!

      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!
