Why are you so afraid to eat anything? Have you been throwing up? I was lucky with being able to eat just about anything. By day 37 I could eat almost whatever I wanted.

Did you not get a food plan from your doctor or the NUT when you had your surgery. If not I would be calling the NUT to meet with her and to get a diet plan that you should be following.

Try eating just soft foods and slowly incorporate some TINY bites of chicken and chew it till it's complete mush in your mouth. Soft foods like mashed cauliflower, cream of wheat, oatmeal, eggs, tuna, soft fish,,like cod. Something I found about chicken is that even though it's more fattening,,the dark meat like on a leg is much easier to swallow. Try to get Protein in first, then veggies..you can mash just about any veggie and make it taste good..just lay off the starchy ones. Just stay on softer foods till you can talk to a nutritionist. You can find alot of diets online as well..just make sure they come from a reputable source.

By day 37, I too was allowed to be on soft regular food. I still adore rotisserie chicken. Something about the roasting process makes it easier to chew and swallow. If you're really worried, you can always puree it while you're working to transition to other solid foods. Sometimes canned meats are easier to handle on the soft food stages. Before you know it, you'll be eating regular food again, just in tiny amounts! :)

You need to be getting nutrition down. Find soft foods you can eat. If it's just discomfort, work through it a little. Spitting food can turn into a habit/eating disorder.

Try Soups. I liked bean & bacon. I also made some pureed soups that I still like to eat.

I was eating hot sauces from very early out. I think I'm 8 weeks now. I have always had an Iron stomach. Try a little and see how it goes. Some people become intolerant to some foods like eggs and milk and spicy food. It hasn't happened to me.

      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!
