Hopefully I am contributing to this thread as I have not read all the responses. For me, canned salmon from trader joes worked really really well during my initial food selection when starting on solids. The reason I like the canned wild salmon is because it was really easy to measure out 2 ounces with a measuring cup because it was really soft (read: easy to eat) And very portable (small can). It was also very tasty and i ate it every day for lunch until i could handle other Proteins like chicken, pork and beef. I still like eating salmon at home and when eating out now at 7 months out, but do not eat the canned salmon so much any longer, I do not like the taste of white wish as much just because there is not much flavor.

Actually Stef, for just this once :P I have to disagree with you.

What?!?!?! Thems fightin' words, Iggy! :lol:

I find denser fish (halibut in particular) much harder to eat than salmon or rock fish or even cod. Then if you go with cheeks, gad that's like eating scallops and I might get one down. For halibut I tend to have about an ounce to an ounce and a half, but for salmon I can eat three if it's moist (cooked correctly).

Interesting. I haven't had a ton of fish yet, but the same portion sizes of salmon, tuna and scallops all feel about the same to me.

I would also suggest Tilapia or Salmon. They are both my go-to when I'm at a resteraunt and not sure on healthy choices there. I do ask to make sure they don't cook them in butter or put sauces on them!

I am one of those that all my co-workers, family and most friends know about my surgery but just today encountered a funny a lunch. After a meeting a group of 6 women stopped at a new diner-type place. Now, I'm not usually nervous eating out anymore because I can usually find something, only eat a 1/3 of it and take the rest home or split with someone. But, for lunch their choices were meatlof, lazagna, chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken or finally baked chicken with stuffing. So, I tell the server I would like the baked chicken, but she could just leave off the stuffing and then fresh green Beans. She says, "Our stuffing is really good, do you want me to put some on there for you?", and I said no, thanks I just want the chicken. She pressed me again and my friend looked at her and said, "She.does.not.want.the.stuffing" LOL! Just be persistant!

      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!
