Day 3 Pre-op liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Please, tell me it gets better.

I'm so low energy, hungry, cranky, and have a headache.

I'm really hoping today is the worst day - I thought I read that by day 4 it gets better.

I'm at work and for some reason there are 3 cakes and homemade ice cream here today. I'll just be hiding in my cube.

Stay in your cube, Forget the cakes, it WILL get better, I promise. It got to where I didn't even mind people eating around me. I don't know how long your Liquid Protein diet is, mine was 14 days. You'll be glad you did! Best wishes on all the upcoming changes.

I am also on Day 3 of Pre-Op Diet. Just think how bad and guilty you would feel if you gave in and ate the cake and ice cream. It's not worth it. Hang in there - we can do this!

I had my surgery on the 29th, believe me it gets better. Just think of your goal. Going through this last process will make your surgery faster and safer. Resulting in less pain and a faster recovery time. Yay for shrinking livers, haha.

Hi Ladyvalle,

I too, am 62 and had my RNY surgery June 16th. I'm feeling pretty good almost 3 weeks out now, just a little sore and having a hard time getting all the Water and Protein in each day. I see the nutritionist tomorrow per my plan. I did 2 weeks Liquid Protein pre-surgery and it really wasn't that bad after the first 3-4 days. Just take it a couple of hours at a time. I was amazed at how filling they were. But now, since I have to drink it so slowly, I'm not enjoying it anymore. My refried Beans and yogurt are my best friends now.

Of course you're nervous, we all are........but I am already so happy that I did it, the age wasn't a problem. You'll do great.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
