Ways to switch up the pre op diet!



Recommended Posts

I am jealous of everyone that gets yogurt, I would kill for one right now. I am on strict liquids which includes Protein Drinks, sugar free jellos, and sugar free popsicles. I was watching youtube and found a hint from someone - they took Soups (I use French Onion and Chickenderia) and strained all the solids out. I hate the taste of bland chicken and beef broth but these taste good. I currently have Chickenderia going in my little crockpot (holds 2 cups) with some added cilantro.

Umm that sounds so yummy! I might have to try that!

oh maybe I will call then. I am 3-4 Protein Shakes a day, clear broth, I tried the thai one yesterday and it was so spicy, that I may do a splash of it in the chicken. I can do the sugar free popsicles, they were gross, the Jello is eh, but it is not a shake or broth - LOL. I have been adding Metamucil for Fiber too, and that helps feel full. I ate a no sugar added 40 calorie fudgsicle last night. It was good, which leads me to believe although it is on the full liquid diet list, post op, I cannot eat it now. ONLY 6.5 MORE DAYS!

Omg where can you even find these? I have been to 6 different stores and nothing! I love spicy!!!!! I need to add some type of probiotic because this Protein is constipating! Whoop whoop only 6 days after today!

It was very yummy. I strained everything, added fresh cilantro then added the chicken Soup Unjry powder. I tried last time with the unflavored directly into my French Onion broth and that was BAD. I found out if you take 1/4 c Water and the packet of chicken soup in a shaker (i used cold but I suppose lukewarm Water would be fine) then added the mix into my soup it was fine.

      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!
