I am 5 weeks out and I take Greek Yogurt or a couple pieces of carl budding lunch meat and a cheese stick. I also get those little tuna snack packs and through away the crackers.

I have taken a chicken breast that I had out and had to split into 5 meals. I just cut it and put each one in a baggie and took it on different days and reheated in the microwave.

I have taken sf pudding, cottage cheese and I get this sugar free Jello parfait at the dollar tree as well as their frozen mozzarella sticks that I microwave. There are 6 frozen ones in a package for a dollar and and I microwave 3 of them per lunch and it that is all I can eat!

I am taking Soup this week as well as a storage bowl because I can only get in about a 1/2 cup of soup per meal and it is such a waste to not finish the can.

Don't forget to take your Water or tea for the day!!!, and your Vitamins.

I think the biggest thing to get used to is the head still thinks of how much we packed for a pre sleeve lunch and it feels like we need more than 3 cheese sticks for the day, but really it almost too much!

So here goes, I have to be at work at 7 so I take my Preimer Protein shake with also.

7 to 8 am Premier Protein Shake, Vitamin and Calcium

9-10:30 Water

11 lunch, Vitamin and B12

12-1 water

130 sf pudding, or cottage cheese. or Jello, Calcium

2-3 water

At home after work I continue with water or tea

Hubby doesn't get home till 630 so then he wants to go get something to eat. I go with and order soup and then have about 3 bites of his chicken and a veggie sometimes followed by Iron.

I find after all that drinking during the day I really have NO hunger in evening and have to force myself to eat a little Protein. If I don't I feel it in the morning and want to EAT.

That's my next thing to do.. plan out meal times so I know when I can drink and when I can not. Thanks for the help!

I am at 3 weeks (on mushies), and I have cottage cheese, yogurt, refried Beans, egg salad and tuna puree (sounds kinda ick, but tastes fine) packed in 1/4 cup containers. I also have SF pudding for a snack. I'll probably also bring a shake so that I can work on getting my Protein in.... not a ton of variety in the mushy diet :)

      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.

        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!
