Pre-Op Diet



Recommended Posts

Did anyone else not have a required pre-op diet, other than the “no food after midnight” on the day of surgery rule? I’m two weeks out from surgery and was not given a specific diet to follow.

I have heard of this, but this was not my experience. My surgeon preferred a strict 2 week liquid diet to shrink the liver.

But yes, I have heard other people say they did not have a pre-op diet.

I wasn’t required a pre-op diet either. Nothing to eat after 12 night of surgery and 12 oz of a carbonated drink the morning of.

I didn't have a pre-op liquid diet. I lost 99 pounds during my six month insurance-required pre-op diet program, so my surgeon told me that I did not need the pre-op liquid diet. He does require it for most people.

      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.
