Food Question... How Long Did You Wait?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone eat sausage or hot dogs (no bread)? If so how long did you wait?

Also how long did you wait til you ate a homemade pizza made out of either flatbread or low card tortilla?

I was told to wait 6 months before doing full on Pasta and any type of bread untoasted, but I can eat toasted bread within 7 days. Anyone know why?

Has anyone tried Dumplings/potstickers?

Sorry for all the questions just curious

For lunch yesterday I had a turkey and pepper jack sausage with hummus. It was only 100 calories and 10g of Protein. I think it was hillshire farms

At 3 mos I could eat about 1oz of sausage on occasion. My husband likes to cook them for Breakfast as a treat and I'd have a little. We're talking the big sausages (Bavarian, Jalapeno, etc) not the little Breakfast links. I can't do hot dogs, couldn't before surgery without risking stomach riots.

I think it was around month 4-5 I started using low-carb tortilla's for shrimp/avocado tacos and homemade chicken pizza. Could only eat about 1/3 at first, now it's rare I can finish one still. And again, only on occasion, once a week at most.

I'm not a big dumpling/potsticker fan, so haven't done those yet.

It was explained to me that when starches are toasted or cooked, it reduces the sugar content before you eat it. It's also easier to swallow and digest, which is good in the first two months. Just plain bread can expand in your tummy and make you feel full really fast, and carbs pass through your system faster than Protein.

      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.

      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!
