Recommended Posts

I'm amazed at how quickly everyone has been able to reintroduce food... I'm on liquid phases for 4 weeks! (2 week clear' date=' 2 week full). Plus with the 2 weeks clear phase pre op.... I'm losing my mind!!! would just love a bite of something with texture... sigh..... Only 3 more weeks to go, then I'm gonna LOVES me somethin mushy! BUT... all complaints aside, I'm down 20 lbs since pre op and no complications!! Yay!! Thanks for the food suggestions! I can't WAIT!!!![/quote']

I think all drs give different orders but I agree some people are eating meat I'm second week. Mine was one week Clear Liquids then one week thicker liquids. Then I can go to soft foods like tuna salad etc. I can't imagine how you are doing Clear Liquids for two weeks but its better for the stomach so hang in there.

I found a really awesome blog by someone who had wls a few years back. In addition to a section on puréed foods, she also has a continuing section called 'A Day in My Pouch' in which she posts some amazing recipes and meal ideas:

Be careful though, it's addicting!!!

Greek yogurt, almonds ( 8-12 1x daily in yogurt when I eat it as a meal replacement), 3oz lamb or veal chops are high in Protein, turkey burgers, and meat loaf. I also sometimes have a cold cut roll up of 2oz turkey and1oz cheese. I occasionally have a Protein Shake, but do so sparingly since my pre and post op diet.

I'm am 3 weeks post op also and can eat anything soft or puréed. I'm loving ground chicken salad, eggs over easy, the avocado smoosh recipe I found on here, pintos and cheese, and sugar free Popsicles when I want to bit into something. I have also just puréed a couple of meals that my husband and son were eating and it's good too.

      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!
