I feel so guilty!!! Today I was doing enchiladas of carne asada to my family and after 4 days of liquids omg!! I though well just a little bit and I ate a whole enchilada of corn tortilla!!!! Will this affect my results?? My surgery is on the 30th!!!

This is too hard for me specially cuz we are an Hispanic family and our food is so rich!!

It should not but you want to limit the cheats as much as possible for your benefit. I completely understand I am also Hispanic and love food! Just forgive yourself and go on, you can do it!

Meh. Some doctors don't force you to do a pre-op diet at all (mine didn't) so I wouldn't stress. I'd try to pick up the pieces and get back on your doc's plan tomorrow, though.

I would have a totally different tone if you had just cheated on your POST op diet because healing after surgery is no joke and it's very important to keep to the liquids until you're cleared to start regular food.

And as a sad side note, I would enjoy those tortillas now...if you're unlucky like me they won't go down the same after surgery. I make my own and can't even eat half of one anymore. :(

      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!
