2 week pre op diet starts today



Recommended Posts

Hi, I also started my pre op yesterday. Only drinking the shakes for now, will go buy some Soups and pudding later on today. One thing I am not sure if allowed or not is coffee/tea so I am still having one cup a day until maybe 3 days pre op. I need my caffeine. I am also including frozen strawberries and bananas to my Protein Shake in the morning since I figure I am burning those calories at work.

That is a great idea! I am going to do that for my morning shakes as well.

I was told to eliminate the caffeine from my diet. Because it can cause dehydration. So I am drinking Decaf now. If you want to give me your email I'll email you what my nutritionist had to say about it.

I am so thankful for my evening meal. Today I am having a lean beef patty and today I need it. I am struggling and ate some peanuts, they are on the list of foods I can have but I am not sure how many I can have. I had about 1/4 of a snack package. All the sweet bars and shakes are too much sweet for me.

I'm a teacher and we have to take our kids to breakfast every morning about an hour after I have had mine. I had a nice thick Protein Shake this morning but I am starving as I watch these babies eat.

I am so jealous! I'm starting my Pre-Op diet in 10 days and it consists of:

-4-6 Boost Diabetic

-Water

-Flavored Water as long as it's no calorie.

That's it for FOUR weeks! I'm beginning to think my surgeon is trying to torture me lol

I am actually going to email my team and ask of I can have homemade chicken stock without salt to cut all the sweet through out the day. Or maybe even juicing vegetables too, as long as I stay under the 1200 calorie a day target.

We will see! Good luck guys! You can do it!!

Sheena :-)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
