Recommended Posts

I'm still on post op liquids and starving. Just wondering what everyone had for dinner? I would like to start planning some meals. If you could share some meal and or your favorite meals that would be great! Thanks :)

Durning my first few weeks post op I watched the food network all day just to see some good looking food wishing I could eat and to get some ideas once I was able to eat again. I wish you all the best!

I'm still on soft foods post-op, but I had 3 mushrooms stuffed with a low-carb artichoke jalapeno dip and a tablespoon of fat free cottage cheese to cut the heat.

I can't wait to have fish tomorrow. I suck at cooking fish, so even though I like it we never buy it for home, but now that it's about the only meat I'm allowed (at the moment) I'm giving it another try.

Just got the go ahead for stage 2 (week 2 post-op).

I had:

-1/2 cup oatmeal real watery with vanilla flavored Protein powder mixed in.(not too bad)

-1/2 a small sweet potato baked and pureed in my Ninja food processor with chicken broth and 1 tbsp. of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.(Pretty tasty)

sugar free pudding for dessert

Anything is better than broth and jello!!

i'm still stuck on Protein and jello's until the 13th.

this part sucks just as much as the pre op stuff did :unsure:

good ideas though and i'm looking forward to a small piece of chicken or a forkfull of mashed potatoes for goodness sake!

Tonight was a bowl of chili.

Tomorrow I am cooking a pork roast in the crockpot all day so I will have pulled pork. This will be my first time trying it since surgery.

      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.
