I would stick to what you know. 6 weeks out your stomach is still healing. i would stay to soft foods and things that are easily chew-able.

Six weeks out you should be able to try a myriad of things. You can always try a sandwich and only eat half or ditch the bread if it doesn't agree with you. I always get wheat bread when they have it.

Any salad bar should have ham and chicken. If they do Breakfast food eggs always work.

Most hospital cafeterias offer some version of Soup. If you're on soft solids, perhaps you could have grilled chicken or a small piece of fish.

I would stop by the cafteria when they are slow, if you explain your dietary needs they should be able to tell you what is available. That and they make food in the back for all kinds of special diets. they may be able to offer something that you don't see.

      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!
