My Journey Starting With Pre Op Diet



Recommended Posts

My doctor has you see the nutritionist first if nutricionist says its ok. Then you advance. But for me is 1 month clear liquid then 1 month full liquid then 1 month muchies

Wow, that will take some self control!! I have never heard of a post-op diet that progresses so slowly. Good luck!! You can do it!!

Happy Mother's Day to you. But I am glad you are okay. I would call your dr tomorrow to see what is going on with you. I don't have problems breathing but I think I have some type of mucus around my band. I am trying to cough it up but nothing is coming out it feels funny. Hang in there girl and keep us updated.

Thank You!!! I'm not sure if you are a mother, if you are happy Mother's Day to you too. I'm definitely going to call the dr first thing tomorrow morning. I would call the dr about the mucus it could be a sign of infection. I will keep you all posted as soon as I know anything. Thanks for the support!!!

I am sorry that you are having to go through all of this... My dr said to not advance stages without his approval' date=' but that's mine so I can't really say what yours would say. I hope that things get easier for you!!![/quote']

Thanks for the support. I think I'm am just going to wait until I see the dr and dietician to advance to the next stage. What's one more day anyway.

Your welcome, and thank you as we'll for your support. It's nice to have someone to talk to. I'm sure you will get awesome results. I hope I get some better answers as to why my oxygen levels are low, but I doubt it. I'm just seeing my physician tomorrow and then I have to get a referral to a pulmonologist.

I have not been greeting enough water especially since going to the ER and spending 10 hours there without anything to drink until at the end I had some sips of water. It's been kinda hard to get rehydrated. I was out in the sun today for a couple hours and felt like passing out. I really need to get more water. I started taking my Vitamins and calcium again today, thanks to you :) . I can't believe I forgot to take them. How do you do it? You seem to be so on top of everything and are doing an awesome job.

Last night I felt terrible I guess now I know the feeling when you drink to much and too fast. It's very uncomftable. My pain is a lot better i slept on my side yupi. But now this morning took my blood pressure pill and I can fill it in my throat and is very uncomftable also. I guess that's the feeling of being stuck. I hope it goes away soon.

Things go better with me on day 3 but I felt back to normal on day 5. I know this is an adjustment but you can do this.

Haven't heard from you? Are you ok? As for me doing ok. Vitamin Water zero for me tastes bad now too sweet and I hate the aftertaste. No more of those for me crystal light works better but I put half packet only on a 16 oz bottle or 1 packet on my 32 oz bottle.im ok with the broth. Anyways looking forward to June 14th for my progression to full liquid diet. I get to change tastes.

Sorry I haven't been on for awhile. I was having problems with my app on my phone, it would work and then log me out. I had to update and restore me phone. I have been stressed out lately with school and getting ready to move. My oxygen levels have gotten better they are between 91-97. I went on a four hour walk last week and I was so sore and regretting that for a few days. I was having trouble breathing and pain. I got the clear to eat mushies on the 16th and for me that was a down fall, because ever since I could eat I just keep feeling more hungry. I started to eat bread and meat and I have no problem eating anything. I have stopped in to see my dietician, but she was busy with someone else. She said she would call me, but she has not. I have called her twice and still nothing back from her. I really need to get back on track and I really can't wait for my fill. I'm just glad the military postponed our move for another month, and now I can get my first fill here before we move. I'm starting back on shakes for now so I can get the hunger pain gone and then I will try mushies again. I feel more hungry now then before surgery. I bought a pill box so I can remember to take my Vitamins and pills. I'm going to keep calling my dietician to see what she says.

      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!
