Hows the pre op diets going?



Recommended Posts

How's everyone who is on the pre op diet going? I am on day 6 and haven't cheated once! I have honestly surprised myself. I even took the kids to McDonals for dinner tonight and didn't even eat one chip.

Im having Optifast shakes and bars less than 800 cals a day. I have been having one tea spoon of margarine with garlic and frying zucchini, Tomato and eggplant for dinner.

I have lost 4.3 kg so far or 9.4lbs :)

Hope everyone else is doing well too.

Doing well. I've cheated once... I had a bite of a hot dog (no bun, just a small bite of hot dog my son left on plate). I'm down 7 pounds after my first week. Pretty pumped up. Congrats on your progress. That's awesome!

Its going better... i drink two shakes during the day and have sugar free Jello if i feel the need to eat...then dinner is salad usually.. im doing good..lost 10 pounds in 5 days..havent weighed since...trying to stay off the scale and not obsess over numbers..i find i am not that hungry very much... i do cheat on purpose..at the end of a 7 day stretch of eating on plan...i allow one meal thats off plan( however its due to the face that im expected by my pcp to be on a diet for over a month and two weeks prior to surgery) When i get down to 14 days prior to surgery...then its strictly no cheating on anything..but until then..i can survive 7 days of dieting followed by one meal of my choice amd then back to the diet again

I'm doing well on the food part which is shakes and veg Soup. Not as great on weight loss. Lost 6 lbs and then haven't lost anything in 6 days :(. But I haven't cheated despite out of town trips, wedding receptions, and other challenges so I can be happy about that.

      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!
