Differences In Pre-Op Diets



Recommended Posts

2 week liquid diet - 3 shakes a Day

2 weeks 2 shakes, one small dinner

1 week liquids

3 days liquid

1 day liquid

24 hour fast

Why are they all so different? I am on 15 day liquid diet, then one day fast. I get 3 shakes a day.

I'm also weathering a frigging hurricane right now!

Why are they all so different? It's the same surgery! I get that it may "shrink your liver" but if that mattered, then why do some docs not do it? It seems to me that the post op diets are pretty similar, but the pre-op diets are vastly different.

The Breakfast shakes are ok, the lunch ones I'm starving before, through, and after eating it. It's not taking the edge off at all. I want to have scrambled eggs or a boiled/grilled chicken breast, or fish for dinner.< /p>

Why not do a liver cleanse? http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/liver-cleanse-foods/

I know I should be asking my doc, but, I'm annoyed, and, everything in NJ is closed right now due to the hurricane, so I'm venting while I still have electric!

      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.

        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!
