What is your Pre-OP Diet?



Recommended Posts

Make sure that you include in your liquid diet fluids that are sugar free or low in sugar and calories. The idea is that your diet should be high in Protein but low in fat and carbohydrates and therefore low in calories too.
Some of the fluids you can include in your diet are:
 Water
 G2 ®
 Propel ®
 Power Ade Zero
 Crystal Light ®, Clight ®, etc.
 Dark coffee, preferably decaffeinated
fruit juices without sugar or low sugar
 Tea / Iced Tea, preferably decaffeinated
 Sugar free Gelatin (Jell-O®)
Premier Protein ®
 Gold Standard 100% whey
 Beef, poultry or vegetable broth (bouillon can be used)
Water with Proteins like: Special K ® O2 or similar
 Sugar free water Popsicles no seeds or fruit pieces
 Kool-Aid ® unsweetened Tang ® unsweetened, etc.
 Carnation ® Instant Breakfast Sugar free made with skim milk, soy or almond milk
Soups / low Carb (example: Campbell’s ® veggie soups or chicken noodle, the creamed soups are much higher in carbs) pureed with water
** You can use the whey Protein Powder as a substitute for a full meal, three times a day, supplementing with other options during the day. Mixing this powder with skim milk tastes better than with water.
**Being only liquids it can seem that there is no way to overdo but it is possible, so you must ensure that the total intake of calories per day does not exceed 1000 calories.

Mine is very similar to those above.

I'm starting on Wednesday... for surgery day of November 15!

  • Unlimited Protein Shakes
  • Chicken/Beef/Veggie broth
  • Low-fat cottage cheese/plain Greek yogurt (1/2 cup limit/day)
  • Skim/unsweetened almond/soy/cow's milk
  • Egg whites
  • Lean meats (white fish/chicken breast/turkey)
  • sugar free syrups/water flavors
  • Sf jello/pudding/instant carnation breakfast
  • Sf Popsicles
  • NO caffeine, carbonation, coffee or tea
  • Herbs, salt and pepper for the meat (No sauces or oils)

I'm already anticipating the caffeine withdrawals that will be kicking my butt for the first couple days....

I'm thinking I will be mainly be eating the Protein shakes, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, deli turkey, turkey burgers, egg whites and LOTS of sf jello/pudding and Popsicles :D

I have a 2 week (14 days) pre-op diet. 5,10,15 rule which is a Protein Shake that has less than 5 fat grams, less than 10 carbs and more than 15 grams of Protein.< br /> i am drinking the Premier Protein shakes vanilla and the caramel ones.

1 protein shake for breakfast
1 protein shake for lunch
4 oz of lean meat for dinner (2 shot glasses worth or 2 small bites)
46oz of Clear Liquids, no carbonation, no caffeine
The day before surgery it is clear liquids only, no shakes no food.< br />
I started my diet Oct. 25, it has been super rough but i have lost 8.8 pounds already.
I still have the normal size stomach as i haven't had surgery yet and i am still very hungry everyday, but i know in just 1 week more it will be all better and I will have the surgery done and then I won't worry so much about food anymore. I was never a big eater to begin with, usually ate only 1 time a day and that was at dinner, I suppose that is why my metabolism got so slow to begin with?

Anyways, I just keep up on fluids every time i feel hungry and try to make myself full that way. :) Good luck to everyone

      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.

        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!
