Did anyone NOT have to do the preop diet?



Recommended Posts

I had a 1 week period diet. 2 shakes and 1 meal a day. I did cheat a few times though......you know "my last meal" about 5 times like. Thankfully all went well though

Me? I was serious during the post op diet. I was a wee bit crazy though, I made melon and cucumber Water, even made a concoction out of pickle juice. I would crush Popsicles and then eat them like a snow cone. I would freeze my Protein drinks and made shaved ice treats out of them too.

Ok now i'm confused. In one post you said you did not do one and in another you said you did and went a wee bit crazy. lol. am i missing something?

Didn't have a required pre op diet. Guessy doctor didn't feel my liver size would be an issue. I was seeing a nutritionist for 3 months prior and we were working on changing my habits before sugery so it wasn't too much of a shock. I lost 7 pounds prior. I just had to have the typical liquid 24 hrs prior to sugery.

That hasn't been mentioned to me at all. My preop appointment is on the 12th and my surgery is on the 17th of this month.

Regardless of the liver effect I appreciated the pre-op diet since it helped me prepare for the much tougher post-op diet.

I didn't have a pre-op diet, my Dr said that since my BMI was under 40 in the beginning, a pre-op diet wasn't required, but recommended to eat high Protein, which I usually did anyway. My pre op BMI was 32

      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!
