Liquid Diet Pre-surgery



Recommended Posts

So I’ve been doing really well I am up today at day seven. Today. I have lost 16 lbs. Not really able to tolerate the Protein Shakes very well. But staying hydrated and drinking plenty of broth. But today I caved. I had one tater tot When making dinner for my family. Does anyone know if this would undo my vertical sleeve surgery? It’s not for another seven days so I’m hoping my body can flush it out. That’s been the hardest part other than the nasty shakes is making meals because I have children while still staying on liquid. I’m kind of beating myself up about it.

You’ll be fine, but remember you are doing the pre-op diet to shrink your liver and make your surgery safer. It’s super important

Thank you. And I keep reminding myself that. Which was why I was a little horrified when I slipped. I have been so very very on liquid. And I definitely want it to be safe. I’m just going to have to finish up quickly and get out of the room. Hoping this is easier after surgery

If you’re anything like me and hate shakes, vanilla or chocolate, try the Isopure Protein Powder in the flavor mango lime. 25g Protein per scoop, mix w 8oz of Water and you got a nice juice! I also sometimes like to add some crystal light strawberry watermelon to it.

its really important to find a Protein Drink you like especially for after surgery.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
