Pre-Op Diet, what has your doctor said?



Recommended Posts

I was looking on here about a week ago, I saw that there was a chart from someone for Kaiser's Pre Op diet. I can't seem to find it and I was wondering if anyone had it or had anything else from their doctor that I can show my mom and dad? I didn't get a very detailed one from my doc.

doctors all have different ways they do the preop diet. I had one friend who had to fast 24 hours before the surgery but prior to that she could eat what she wanted. My doctor was totally different. He had me do a clear liquid diet for 7 days prior to the surgery so my organs would shrink (the liver) and make the surgery easier. After the 3rd day of clear fluids it was no big deal. After the surgery you still on the same clear fluids. The second week post op your on full fluids so really you spend about 3 weeks on fluids pre and post op. I dropped 40 lbs in those 3 weeks. There is no really set way but all up to the doctor and what makes him comfortable.

My sugeron has a wonderful disk about pre and post op information. I am trying to attach it for you but it won't let me, if you will give me your email address I will be glad to email you the info.

Hi there, I have attached the Kaiser pre-op meal plan. It has really worked for me, but you have to really stick with it and weigh /measure everything.

Good luck!

How are you doing after surgery the other day??? Tell me all about it. Yes, I asked my Doc for information about after the surgery as I wanted to see (actually start) how I would have to eat before and after. So he gave me the after surgery disc they have. I printed it out and have in a 3 ring binder. It is very helpful and is allowing me time to get my head around the life change. It is a big change but one well worth the effort and time!!!! If I could just get motivated to excercise, that would be better. Still working on that. Hope you are recovering well, keep me posted...

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
