Real Food.. Finally!



Recommended Posts

So, I'm almost a month out.. (Tomorrow will be 4 weeks!!).. And I've finally transitioned to regular foods... with a few exceptions.. but I'm SOOOOO glad to have something that is MEAT!!! Right now, I'm having dinner and I have 4 small turkey meatballs (Perdue brand) w/ a few broccoli florets and a tsp of Tomato cream sauce and I feel like I'm in heaven!!! I may not finish it all (seems like such a SMALL amount compared to the big bowl I would have!!), but the burst of flavor and spices... Yum, YUm, YUM!!

Just wanted to share my excitement... What are you having for dinner? ??

I have been positevely dying for fruit and veggies! I thought I wasn't supposed to start on these items until 3 months out- well today I re-read all my handouts and realized I could have started on these items 2 weeks ago! So- I'll be honest- fruits and veggies are on my menu for dinner tonight and I'll make up the Protein in the form of liquid with some nectar Protein Powder. If you haven't tried it there is a sample bag of all the flavors you can get at mybariatricpantry.com. They are such a refreshing change for the other powders.< /p>

I get to try to eat an egg today. Other than that, still on liquids/pureed foods for two more weeks. Congratulations on real food!

My surgery was only one day later than yours, so many different regimens out there!

      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!
