I'm curious, as it seems from reading through here that everyone's pre op is a bit different. I am having surgery Monday October 19, and am

Currently finishing day 4 of my pre op diet. I actually really like the Premier Protein drinks but that's about all I can stomach. Which I'm assuming is ok? My pre-op consists of premier for break fast, light yogurt snack, premier for lunch, 1 cup of broth snack, then 4 oz chicken and 2 cups of steamed veggies for dinner and j can add a yogurt or fruit if I want. I'm definitely feeling physically better and def more tired with an intake of around under 500 calories a day.. I have always been a huge Water drink and have been drinking about 80oz a day (I usually drink about 40-50) but I always use those powder flavors like crystal light those are ok aren't they? Any tips?

@@sorrynomore Why are you only consuming 500 calories a day? Is that what they told you to do? Crystal light should be fine, ask your NUT. 500 calories is ridiculously low.

Pre-op's vary so much. I did not have one because I lost weight over the course of three months in a supervised weight loss program. In the program, we did try various Protein powders and pre-mixed Protein drinks so that we can can an idea of tastes and sizes etc.

Follow your doctor's plans, it does not seem so bad, one week what you listed above. Crystal light has a green light starting the day you come home. Some people say they cannot drink Water like they used to. It will all be hit or miss after the surgery. Some things you used to like, you won't, others you will. Be willing to try different things and pay attention to Protein amounts since that is the most important thing to look at in your liquid phase.

Good luck!

      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.
