Hello! I am 9 days Post-Op from Ohio



Recommended Posts

Hello there, my name is Shelley and I live in Ohio. I had my surgery on the 31st of August and I am really looking forward to talking to others to find out what works and what don't out there. B)

I have found that the full liquid is NOT working for me. I end up hungry in about a hour after eating/drinking my meal. :blink: SO... I tried some pureed food for my next meal and that stayed with me longer and I had no backlash.... :P I did cheat a lil and tried some more solid food last night (spaghetti) and that was a No-No :(, my tummy was NOT HAPPY.. so I am back to pureed foods.

What I am eating now is things like, steamed veggies, chicken, tuna, pork loin and ground beef (mashed/blended). Mashed regular/sweet potatoes, cream Soups, cottage cheese (best friend), yogurt, smoothies, fresh fruit (mashed/blended), and the list goes on. I just make sure everything is well chewed, mashed, or blended.

What I would like it more ideas for dinner choices, as I do not want to run my house like a restaurant, cause I still have a child at home.

one more thing.. I have a hard time getting in ALL my liquids.. anyone else have this problem?:)

That is all.. I know I have a long introduction.. but I can be long winded.. lol :lol:

Shelley

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
