What to do 1 day before surgery?



Recommended Posts

Today is Sunday and my surgery is on Tuesday. I'm not sure what I should eat on Monday. .. should I eat very light so nothing is too heavy in my stomach? I know I can't have any food after a certain time Monday night but I'm not sure what to eat at the beginning and during the day on Monday.

Wow...you get to eat before surgery?? Lucky you! Like many on this site, it was liquids only for two weeks prior to surgery and about ten days post. Heck, I'd have me a rooty tooty fresh and frooty...lol!

me too liz, I had liquids and Protein Bars before surgery for 2 weeks. But I lost 10 lbs. didn't think I would ever get to eat again either but guess what I can eat just not as much and I make better choices.

My dr follows south beach program and required 5% weightloss prior to scheduling surgery. Been following that program (lifestyle) since September and lost nearly twenty pounds, quit smoking and made it through the holidays too. So when it came to last week prior to surgery was asked to go back onto phase 1 (no carbs/sugars) till surgery but that was it. Kind of glad since I've pretty much been on full liquids for the last two weeks (sleeved 1/19). Except now I'm afraid to try new things afraid it will make me not feel well. I really need to focus on eating slowwww.

My surgery was 8:30 on a Monday morning.

My final Dr's appointment and weigh-in was the friday before.

If I did not meet the required weight loss, then no surgery Monday.

Saturday, I went out for my "Last Meal" , picked a place I knew I would never step foot in again, and had a real FINAL ALL YOU CAN EAT pig out....

Sunday I fasted, nothing but Water.

Monday's surgery went without a hitch.

      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!
