I am 11 days into the liquid diet & 4 days out from surgery at 9:30 on the 4th. I am very excited and pretty hungry, I feel weak & lighted headed too. Stickly clear liguids and Protein drinks with skim milk. I did read that for the liver has to shrink it has to be deprieved of carbs & fats. So Protein should not hurt, but I have stucked to the rules except for about an 1 oz of chicken breast the last night. Just to get a little protein.

I found consume' are much better than broth, french onion and beef mushroom Soup are very good, just don't eat the onions or mushrooms. Also we go to the Mexican Restaurant & order chicken Soup with nothing in it, put the pico(tomatoes, onions, jalanpenos & cilintra chopped in it for a 1/2 hour, drain it all off & the broth is very good. So everyone be thinking & praying for me on the 4th. I will come & let you know how I feel. Stick to the liquid diet you don't want your liver to mess with, shrink it. Oh and I have lost 14 pounds on the diet too.:ranger:

I had my preop and I gained 6.5 from when they saw me in oct. i actually gained 10lbs but since the preop diet i have lost 4 lbs. he did not freak out. he seemed like he had a whatever attititude, maybe its because my bmi is a 38-39. and i only have sleep apnea. so no more diet logs, i have my new menu for the 2 weeks after surjery and i go back. i get an "adjustment" in 4 weeks. every dr is sooo different. i'm really trying to sip liquids and not drink while i eat. they still want me to work out right up until feb 5th. i did not today, I cleaned all day. i'm in a calm right now, I just cant believe, well it has not sunk in yet that i'm gettiing a second chance at my life. 19 years of struggling. soooo happy right now.

      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.

        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.

      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!
