When I first started eating food after surgery I ate aton of salmon. Also canned tuna and canned chicken went down easy. Good luck!

I'm all about the Protein Drinks. There are several kinds at the grocery store. Be sure to read the label so that you don't get the ones high in sugar. I love, love, love Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder. It mixes well and one scoop has 24 grams of Protein. You can get it from Amazon or the Vitamin Shoppe.< /p>

I PUREE EVERYTHING! If it is a low-fat high Protein meat it's in the Ninja getting pulverized.

I am really liking using hot italian turkey sausage or turkey meatballs with ricotta cheese and Pasta sauce! It is sooooo good!

You got some really good advice. I also eat a lot of tuna and canned chicken. I also eat a lot of Beans whole and refried. Look for low sodium choices. I personally dont like to drink my calories so I only do Protein drinks when I have to. I do like the greek yogurt has around 16 in protein. Good Luck and congrats!

Do any of you use an unflavored Protein to add to your recipes?

      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!
