Day 4 of pre op diet



Recommended Posts

Hang in there. Try to stay busy to keep your mind off of it. Having this surgery was the best gift I ever gave myself.

sugar free Popsicles, fudgesicles, SF Jello, SF snoballs (if you have these where you live). So much liquid you feel bloated. Drink ALL day.

Day 3 of my 2-week clear liquid diet was the worst. It does get better.

Drink plenty of water.. It fills you up.. It really does get better.. As I was waiting on my surgery(mine was later in the day) I told my mom and boyfriend I never thought I would see the day where all I wanted was a Protein Shake to eat.. You will get there and surgery will be here before you know it..

I have heard different stories...some say you do on week liquid diet prior to surgery then I've heard others say two weeks. Does this accurate? Any info would be very helpful please. Thanks

It all depends oh your bmi, your surgeon, stuff like that. The one week one is to shrink your liver but some surgeons want patients to lose more.

I ordered powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder, they have unflavored too. I mixed up some sf Jello with their strawberry sorbet powder, 1/2 cup is 35 calories.

ISO PURE helped me along with muscle milk light it takes a bit of getting used to but after a while it helps you loose the craving for food I did. I hated everything I tried to eat the text-er was like yuck no matter what it was.

Wow, I suppose I should feel lucky. I have no pre-op diet. Surgery is on Sep. 9th. Only requirement is Clear Liquids 24 hours before surgery. I'm not going food crazy but do you guys think I should stop eating solids more than 24 hours prior? My doctor is not concerned with weight loss before surgery. He says at my BMI it's not really necessary. What do you guys suggest?

It wouldn't hurt to maybe do your last 2 days at 100% liquids that will really help clean you out and make sure you don't have any undigested food in that tummy.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
