soft diet woes



Recommended Posts

I was banded on the first of the month and i am on the "soft diet" now and i am wondering if anyone has any food ideas that they would like to share with me for this diet. i am also wondering if we can have bread during the soft diet stages, something like muffins or toast. i appreciate all your help.

Hi Amos,

I think I answered you on another thread. Soft breads are really hard to eat and should not be eaten in the mushy stage. The flour is so sticky that it is said to cause terrible problems because it gets clogged down there. So don't eat any.

I have read that many people can no longer tolerate bread and muffins and pancakes. I have also read that sometimes a person can eat whole wheat toast, if done very slowly and carefully. We make our own whole wheat bread and it is really delicious, but I have to chew and chew and chew and then eat very slowly. You can get too much down there in a blink of an eye and then suffer the consequences. I just want to stress that breads cannot be eaten until you are totally healed and on a normal diet.

You can puree anything, I liked mashed potatoes with a soft boiled egg, and cottage cheese with fruit smushed to a soft goo. I also liked to get one of those thick Campbell Soups and puree that. Then you get all of the flavor.

      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.
