What types of food are you eating now? And about how much? Also how do you tell when you are full? I'm wondering if I am eating too much.

Also, no more than 4 ounces at a time, or three slices of deli meats (thin sliced...chicken or ham). If my chest starts to hurt....then I stop!!

I'm eating mostly yogurt and cottage cheese since I barfed on tuna (1/4 cup blenderized with nayo). I figured an extra week on semi-liquids wouldn't hurt. I eat 1/4-1/2 cup cottage cheese. Well, at the begining of the week 1/4 cup was all I could do but now I can do 1/2 if its liquidy. Ive also been doing 6 oz cup of greek yogurt 0%. That goes down very easy. I tried a 1/2 cup of lentil Soup with 1oz of goat cheese. It went down fine but just didnt float my boat taste wise (mostly water). Hummus goes down fine but gives me heartburn.

I need some help menu wise to start getting in more Fiber. I am on mushies/soft foods until my next appointment.

I'm eating pretty much whatever I want. I ate with the family on Easter. I had ham, mashed potatoes, corn, creamed spinach. VERY little amounts of each. My 5 year old ate way more than I did. Most days I'll have a Greek yogurt or a scrambled egg for breakfast, some Soup or chili for lunch, and whatever I want for dinner. Maybe some salmon, chicken. Last night I ate some turkey and cheese from the inside of a sub my family was eating. I even ate 3/4 of a soft taco from Taco Bell one night. I know I'm full when I start getting an uncomfortable feeling in my chest and feel like I either need to burp or take a drink to get it down. That's my cue to stop.

Was sleeved on the 12th Ive also had no issues with anything I've eaten. I don't let myself get "full". I jst measure out 1/4-1/2 cup of food, or 3-4 ounces. I choose Protein first, then carbs if I still want something but normally I don't. Last night we went to Olive Garden, I got the mussels appetizer and ate a little less than half of them. I think about 7 mussels.

This is pretty much how my sleeve is. I can EAT ANYTHING however it will only be a few bites! All my meals are on a saucer plate. I'm sorry ur having problems. I'm trying to think of reasons ur having issues. Are ur taking something for acid reflux maybe ur having a mild case of reflux and that's causing nausea. Just a guess good luck I hope this passes

      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.

        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!
