Recommended Posts

Start pre op liquid diet on Wednesday the 20th and I told

Hubby that this weekend don't even bother picking a place to eat or a meal for me to cook at home as we will be having all my favorites! ???????????? no big binges or anything just gotta make sure I get pizza one last time etc because hopefully those bad choices will be gone soon!!!

Anyone else find satisfaction in one last hurrah with food? I can't wait to eat a burrito from Moe's!

Hopefully I'm not the only one. ;)

I have definitely noticed that when I eat I'm not eating nearly as much as I once was. Am I am starting to notice that times I think man I need a snack that I really am not hungry at all. If I have to eat a couple more meals before starting liquids, I figure it may as well be my favs

Sounds like a food funeral.

You will eventually be able to eat anything including all the really bad things... but you should only eat them rarely, and you won't be able to eat nearly as much, and it is highly likely that you won't want really want to eat them after adjusting to healthier eating habits.

I have pizza every once in a while, but I can only eat maybe a half of a slice before I am totally stuffed, and I don't like the really greasy loaded versions I used to eat - so I can't remember the last time I had takeout versions. I make way better pizza at home now using whole wheat flour and homemade sauce and load up the veggies and cheese. ;)

Hubby brought home my favorite pizza the night before I started liquids. That's love. :)

I planned on two "last suppers" before I started my preop. The first was a huge Thai dinner and the second was a Mexican feast complete with margaritas. Unfortunately I was working long days and was too tired after work to bother to go out. So I started my preop with no Hoorah.

Fortunately, after reaching goal, there's been nothing "off the table" for me so I've had plenty of Thai, Mexican, pizza and all the other stuff I've always loved. Haven't had to say goodbye to anything except beer (can't do carbonation)

I didn't have a tough pre-op, just the day before surgery.

My last 'bad' meal, 1/2 pound cheeseburger at Fuddruckers with fries and onion rings. Sigh ,,,,lol

Love hearing everyone else experiences! If I had been on the 6 month or more pre op program I prob wouldn't be cheating it but I'm self pay so I don't have the insurance requirements and will just start my pre op liquid on Wednesday. I did notice that I got my regular burrito tonight and couldn't eat it all. Also didn't eat any chips. Weird but great!

I've been doing it the last few days. I start my pre op diet on Thursday.

But I don't think I changed a whole lot with my 6 month physician monitored whatever. Just like always I had a week or 2 of eating well then a week or 3 of crap, rinse, repeat.

So I don't have some amazing change to maintain. Just life. And I'm indulging a bit because life is about to change.

I didn't either. My only cheating was on the plane ride to Tijuana. I had some sugary Apple juice and some peanuts. I was too scared it would keep me from having surgery or they would have to cut me more instead of doing it laparoscopic.

      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!
