Ready To Move From "mushies" To Real Food Question?



Recommended Posts

I'm ready to move to real food. My husband wants to eat out. Is this possible right now? What would I order? Where would be the best place to go. Any suggestions? Very excited and nervous too. Have lost 28 pounds post op so I'm happy but the next stage scares me to death!! Banded 10/10 Thanks

Hi Joy

Yes its possible to eat out... I actually ate out on mushies. LOL Most places have a chicken breast they can grill you. You may ask for a child size meal if they will do that... I do it all the time. Maybe get they veggies and mashed potato on the side. When your food arrives... ask for a small plate and cut the portion down to 3-4 oz meat, 1/2 c veggies and 1/4 c starch. Dont push it...eat what you can and the rest you can take home for tomorrow.

Usually depending who I am with we just share a meal. Most places around here will not let you order off the kid menu unless you are 12 or under. Some places serve half order appetizers also. The half orders is plenty.

      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!
