Pre op diet- not doing so good



Recommended Posts

Heck yeah... I even had an "easy" preop diet (low carb, low fat). Just keep trying!

And how you do on the pre-op diet is no indicator of how you'll do post-op. It's a whole different ball game ;)

I must say it has me questioning my success post op. Good to know that I still have a chance of being successful on the other side. Thanks!

Yes the pre op is the hardest because you still have your big tummy and it still wants what it wants! BUT there are so many reasons why you need to stick with this diet. If you have messed up, then vow to start anew and do better tomorrow. Go ahead and set goals for yourself and concentrate on one meal at a time. Get anything that might cause you to stumble out of your house like Cookies, chips, ice cream and candy. If it is out of the house, it is a lot harder to screw up. You need to do this and you need to do your very best to ensure that you are successful on this journey. YOU CAN DO IT! Take it one moment at a time!

      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!
