Anyone Low Carbing for Pre-Op Diet?



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is December 6, and I am in the 2 week pre op liver shrinking phase. I drink 3 high Protein shakes and eat several cups of greens per day. I have lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks, I don't get Migraines, but I get really tired around 8pm. I am a little worried about Thanksgiving with the family, but I think a small piece of turkey will be ok. Any one else have any Holiday concerns?

I'm going to do my best to stick with turkey and greens plus I'm making mashed cauliflower. I need to check the carb content of gravy. I know I'm going to be disappointed! I might see if I can find a low carb recipe.

Low carb? I've got this starvation thing with Protein shakes, 2 pieces of fruit and one cup of veggies a day!! My head is killing and I'm super weak

I low-carbed up to the 2 week liquid diet.

The liquid diet for me was 3-4 Protein shakes per day....very low carb shakes.< /p>

I stuck with this same liquid diet for the month after surgery as well.

Looking back on it now....13 months later......I wouldn't change a thing about how I approached it.

Grateful for the weight loss.

Three days to go! I could have done better on Thanksgiving but I've lost weight since and I have all the ketosis symptoms so I think I'm on track. I am so ready!

      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.

      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.
