Pre_op diet and how i keep myself from going crazy..



Recommended Posts

My pre_op consist of 4 to 5 Protein shakes that total 800 calories, broth, crystal light, Water, sf popsicles, sf Jello, sf tea, lettuce, bell peppers, onions, carrots with ff dressing.. This is what i did to get in my Protein and Water and not feel hungry..

This is my typical menu for the day..

8@m Protein shake

9@m tea or crystal light or water

10@m Protein Shake

11@m popsicle or Jello

12noon broth and salad w ff dressing

1pm tea, crystal light or water

2pm protein shake

3pm popsicle or jello

4pm crystal light or water

5pm broth and a salad w ff dressing

6pm crystal light or water

7pm protein shake

8_9pm clear water

I hope this helps someone that has a similar pre_op diet every Dr is different. I enjoy structure and if you have a schedule you will start to train your mind for after surgery when you will have to drink every 15 min just to get your liquid intake for the day. Again not everyone is the same but by having my broth and a salad makes me Feel like I'm having a meal and not just liquids All day.. :)

I did full liquids 3 weeks preop and then two of Clear Liquids. I think the plan above is super. Keep fuids going constantly with the Protein spaced out so you do not get hungry and stay busy getting ready for post op. clean, sort kitchen cabinets, clean and sort clothes, get any packed away smaller clothes sorted into descending sizes, pack for hospital, etc... Keep the exitement going for surgery day and the time will fly by. Do not focus on what you cannot have or even talk about it... Keep ur focus on positive thoughts. Best wishes!

You might want to start doing it for just one to days now so when you have to do you're three weeks you'll be mentally prepared a bit more and know what to expect.. Just a thought!! :)

      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!
