Tomorrow I will be on my second week of the pre op liquid diet. Although I am hungry it is getting easier! But I've only lost 5 1/2 lbs. I start clear liquid only tomorrow. Any suggestions on what to drink?

You can do Isopure, which is a clear Protein Drink that comes n several flavors. Not the tastiest but you can add crystal light to mask the taste. Can also do SF Jello, SF Popsicles, broth and Water with unflavored Protein and/or crystal light.

Does everyone go on a special diet as preparation for the surgery? I don't get my surgery date for another week.

Thanks!

Hi I'm copying this from the booklet I received from my NUT for the clear liquid diet. Drink at least 64 oz. of these liquids daily to prevent dehydration. Also replace Breakfast, lunch and dinner with one serving of an approved Protein drink. You need at least 60-80 gms of protein daily.

  • Thin broths or bouillon and bases
  • No added sugar gelatin
  • 100% fruit juice (apple, grape or cranberry) diluted half and half with Water.< br />
  • Sugar-free drinks like Kool-Aid and Crystal Light
  • Sports drinks such as Gatorade or Powerade diluted half and half with water
  • Sugar-free fitness waters, such as Propel and Fruit20
  • K2 Protein Water
  • No sugar added/sugar free Popsicles and frozen ice
  • Coffee and herbal and flavored tea, hot or cold
  • No sugar added hot apple cider
  • Artificial sweetener or naturally sweetened water with fruit or Stevia

Hope this helps.....Best of luck with your pre-op diet

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
