I cheated for 1 meal during my pre-opt



Recommended Posts

I had scrambled eggs Tuesday night before surgery on Thursday. I guess it depends on what you did and when you did it! Every doctor seems to be different in pre-op diet requirements.

It's ok, that 2 or 3 week liquid phase pre op is brutal. I was so HANGRY!!!!!

You're not going to do it perfect. I think I cheated twice. I remember it being a very difficult period, so you're not alone! Don't give up! The surgery is going to make it a lot easier to stay on track. You can do it!!!! :)

You need to call your surgeon and tell him what you have done. Only he can tell you if you have caused a problem with your surgery.

Call your team asap and ask. Please don't take risks and not tell them. They might open you up and then decided not to do the surgery (it has happened before) and you don't want that do you. Please don't go by people on the boards saying things like 1) I didnt have to do anything until 12 hrs before surgery 2) You will be fine, I cheated and was fine, so you will be too.

You have to follow what your surgeon wants you to, not theirs.

I really hope the surgery goes ahead, once you have discussed with your surgeon. Please let us know how things go !!

Kate :)

      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!
