Does everybody have to do a liquid diet before surgery?

Everyone I know of does. Typically liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery to get your liver out of the way. No one wants a nicked liver.

@Shan W I'm glad to hear it because I have seen on the web that some doctors don't do a complete liquid for 2 weeks.

FYI to everyone (I think I got everyone in this thread. Sorry if I missed you just let me now and I'll fix it!) I followed everyone in this thread so that way we might be able to message each other and help to guide each other through this process if we need it! Kind of be our own support group since we will be going through the phases at the same time! Don't think I'm being a creeper! lol. Just wanted a list of y'all just incase I had questions or you did as well! :) CANNOT WAIT FOR SEPTEMBER 7th!!!

Just keep swimming as Dorie says in Finding Nemo. We will get to September before we know it. I get scared but them I realize what this surgery will do for my health and I feel better. My biggest concern is the emotional side of eating. I found a great book The psychology of finally being Full From Within by Dr. Colleen Long, Psy. D. It is helping me better prepare for surgery. I am also in therapy and I just found a psychiatrist to manage my medication.

Cheers,

      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!
