I did not have a pre op diet. I was part of a six month managed plan that started at 2000 calories per day and ended at 1700 per day. I lost 42 pounds pre op and my BP and vitals were much improved. Surgeon said any liver reduction had been accomplished along the way, so no special diet.

I have a 1200 calorie a day pre-op diet from my bariatric department. There are specific food groups I have to eat at certain times and everything is weighed and measured. I only have a liquid diet for 24 hours prior to surgery.

My pre-op dirt is going with me to the grave! ;):lol:

All jokes aside, my surgeon didn't require one.

Two weeks of Protein shakes for breakfast/lunch and a lean and green dinner. First 5 days was hard, but then after that, I was all good.

3 days clear liquids....low sodium broth, Water, sf Jello, Decaf tea is all we are allowed. Surgery is tomorrow... th eonly good thing about the preop is I can't wait for it to end.... so surgery nerves have diminished some

OMG! I was so very hungry all day! I hope I can continue this. Good news, my blood sugar was 106 tonight, thats the lowest it has been in months.

I am 6 months from surgery. I have 6 months of nutritional counseling to do. I am excited and nervous about starting the journey. But I have a great physician, and I am looking for the woman I ate (doubled my size) to leave me!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
