2 days in soft/mushy stage



Recommended Posts

Hello Lb Family,

I am 2 days in the soft/mushy stage and having a hard time eating. This morning I could only eat 1/2 of the 1/2 of cup of oatmeal I had for Breakfast. I want to drink more than eat. What do I do? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what foods I can eat in the mushy food stage.

Hello Lb Family,

I just started introducing mushie foods and so far i have been able to eat mashed potato (about 1oz) and cottage cheese / no fat -small curd ...also about an ounce. It took me 30 minutes both times to eat it. I am chewing like a maniac and trying to get the food to almost baby food consistancy before swallowing. I am still on liquid but am going to try apple sauce today then tomorrow will try to reduce the liquids. I am 2 weeks post op and agree that the liquids have been easier and I amtempted to just stay on them because I am losing at a nice pace but know I have to introduce solids.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
