Doctors require certain diets for certain people based on what they need. Each person is different, so it is best to stick with what your doctor determined best for you.

I didn't have to do the liquid diet before but others in my group did, for me it was due to my size and my eating habits to begin with. The doctor knows best so put your trust in him or her.

Why would anyone want to cheat? Are you cheating your doctor? NO. Are you cheating the band? NO. Are you cheating yourself? YES.

Who will suffer from you cheating? YOU WILL! So why cheat??

I find it weird that some doctors require ONLY Protein Shakes and liquids when others are allowed like 2oz. of meat, 1/2 cup vegetable, 1/2 cup fruit? What did your doctor do? Did seeing this information from other posters make you think about cheating if your on a liquid diet? ??

I was on liquid for 2 weeks... 5 Optifast shakes a day. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. And also one of the most rewarding. I lost 22 lbs and was completely prepared for surgery and the 3 weeks of liquids and mushies following being banded.

It seems there are several schools of thoughts on the pre op diets but I chose my Dr and decided to play by his rules. I didnt cheat. I have followed his orders to a T and have lost 209 lbs.

      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.

        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!
