Pre-Op Diets



Recommended Posts

I figure we are all on the same timeline for pre-op....I can do Atkins (induction) if I don't cheat, not even a little (says the nutritionist). I am wondering if I shouldn't just do liquid the couple days before to make sure all is "empty"

What about y'all? liquid or non-liquid for your pre-op?

I'm non-liquid, just following a very low sugar, low carb, low fat, low sodium diet with no white foods (potato, noodles, rice etc.). I have my pre-op appointment with my surgeon and the hospital on July 30th so I'm sure I'll get more info then about the days prior to surgery. I'm hoping to do only liquids for a few days prior also. Only 3 weeks left!

I am on the Atkins type diet as well. Can have whatever I like as long as I am under 20g of carbs a day. I am on day 5 and am doing well. I had one day at 21g but the rest have been under 20g. :)

      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.

      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!
