Hi all surgery scheduled for 1st March, doc said no pre-op diet necessary, just wondering why some say pre-op diet and some say not. Also would like to know about sickness, do you throw up a lot? And finally what meds do they prescribe before you go home?

I guess I should have posted this somewhere else. Didn't mean to interrupt thread

You hijacker you.

I think frozen foods can make the lining of your pouch less pliable causing food to get stuck. But it should only be a matter of minutes. Monitor it closely and call your Dr if it doesn't get better. Sometimes our pouch and esophogus gain strength from working so hard and can pulse the food without getting stuck. But it takes time i would think.

My Doc allowed me one regular meal a day and the other two were protein shakes and that was only 1 week. I had to do a 6 month supervised diet for insurance and in that time I lost 38lbs and I think that is the reason why he didn't enforce a preop diet on me.
