Pre-op liquid diet...is this normal?



Recommended Posts

First...my surgery date is Feb 7...yay!

2nd...I am on an all liquid diet. Day 1 I didn't really have hunger. Day 1 was as follows:

80oz Water

2 premier Protein shakes

1 puree Campbell's chicken noodle Soup with unflavored Protein.< /p>

Day 2: woke up, not hungry

40oz Water (so far - been busy)

1 premier Protein shake.

Still not really hungry. Is this normal??? Or am I just ready mentally for this surgery?

I was at my dog trainers house ( we do police/home protection training) and after class I sat with those still there eating fish, sweet potatoes, salad, etc and just said no thank you. I didn't shy or lock myself away. I was proud I could resist.

You're probably mentally ready. I had my support group meeting and they had samples of Syntax matrix and nectar Protein powders to sample. I bought a strawberry kiwi nectar because it tastes like kook-aid. My surgery isn't until February 16 but I decided to try the nectar yesterday and today. I was full all day! I couldn't believe it so I really think it curbs the appetite a lot since it has a lot of Protein.

Double check your Campbell's chicken Soup. Did you strain out the noodles? Stuff is very high in carbs if you eat the noodles.

Yes, normal! I've been on the shakes since January 19, 2017. The Protein fills you up a date u drop weight quickly. I can't drink more than 1 or 2 a day plus a bariatric Cream Soup 15 grams Protein. I cut up 4 Oz of pure cooked breast meat. Sometimes I have a triple zero yogurt or a sf popsicle. I've lost 8 lbs on liquid and 2 prior to it. I thought I would starve on it but I have nkt.

Normal! Haven't started pre op yet, but thru my attempts to be healthy I've done juicing fasts for weeks at a time. I think that "hunger" for me is desiring pleasure from flavor & texture, not my body being empty/hungry. Once I held myself accountable to juicing only I could barely get 16 oz down as a meal!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
