I Am On The Mushies And It Is Only Day 8



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery April 23. My doctor said first three days clear liquid, then Protein Shakes day 4 to 6 . Then mushies. Seems like many of you are on liquids longer? It is going down fine and I am just following the no drinking and eating rule and baby portions. Thoughts?

It varies so much! As long as you're following doctor's orders you're good.

Just follow your docs orders. Every doc is different.

does most of your doctors give you a sheet of what to eat and not eat after the surgery?

also curious as it if anyone here 'practiced' the smaller bites ahead of time so we'd be used to it by the time we get to eat solids again?

I have psych eval next appt - the 2 more appts to go and hopefully will be banded in August!!

My dr gave me sheet on what and what not to eat. I officially start my pre-op diet on Wednesday.

My first vist my dr told me to start working on smaller bites, lots of chewing and only sipping at meals. So my main focus for 3 months were those 3 things.

Yup there is a detailed list and I am following diligently ! It is working well but man I am thirsty after eating and do not like to wait to drink but I do. If you need the list let me know!

      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!
