At what point can I expect to be able to eat



Recommended Posts

.... Things like Protein Bars, crackers, maybe part of an English muffin or a tortilla, mashed potatoes?

I am a little nervous to try them now, at 6 weeks, even though I have been given the go ahead for regular foods. Will they get stuck? I am very strict about eating my Protein first, etc. so these foods I mentioned are not in place of anything else. I was just wondering what hurts going down for some of you and what works ok.

eat away, you have been cleared for food. You will find they will fill you FAST! So go slow.

I find, I tend to order a wrap with grilled chicken and end up taking the tortilla off, I have a little bite and then toss it, it fills me too fast and then I feel yucky.

I have no issues now, but in the begininng it was more chicken that would get stuck, just chew everything and you will be fine.

Good Luck and Enjoy!!!

My doc said non of that stuff for 6 months because there's a high likelyhood it can get stuck. I would ask ur doc tho all are different

      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!
