The jury is in! Liquid diets SUCK!



Recommended Posts

I started my liquid diet today, and let me say I kept reading everyone post their struggles with the pre-op diet and while I could totally sympathize with them I really didn't connect the dots of the emotional strain it has on a person. I am not really that hungry, that I can deal with, I am however already an emotional mess about this second time going for surgery and this lack of having my buddy Mr. food to lean on is getting to me.

I didnt have to do a pre-op diet before the last trip because I have a lower BMI, this doctor however requires it so I am doing what is asked of me like a good girl.

Right now though I am totally screwed in the head, I am really quiet and just want to crawl under a rock and sleep until time for surgery Friday.

I am dreading the stupid 5 hour drive to San Diego and the anticipation of surgery is freaking me out. I was not close to being this scared when I went in June, now I am like a weak, simpering wuss and I try to not even think about the surgery. Now I just want something to ease the nerves and food is off the list! WTH.

Its natural that you'll be scared...... but it'll come round son enough and be over with before you know it... I can't begin to think how quick the past 8 weeks have gone for me already.

Good luck with your pre op diet.... do stick with it, it'll be worth it.

      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.

      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!
