cottage cheese, canned chicken, scrambled eggs (watch this one, some folks get sick, go for the whites). refried Beans, hummus, sugar free pudding, if you can mush it with a fork you can probably eat it fine.

I havent had the sleeve yet BUT I registered at the hosp yes2day & they gave me a packet. So for soft foods it says 2-4 oz of soft-cooked foods every 3-4 hrs such as: fish/seafood/eggs oe egg substitute, the packet from the doc says,Pimento cheese/cooked veggies/overcooked pasta/oatmeal/ground meats with gravy or broth/& low fat casseroles. I hope that helps. Im on the 7th day of my liquid diet & I would KILL 2 have some soft fish, I will almost take some raw fish at this point...lol

I am on week 3 and doing the soft foods. I get hungry right before bedtime. Does this happen to y'all? I just ate grits and I'm wondering if some of this is just head hunger:(

Yes, it happens to me. So I try to eat Breakfast and lunch a little later in the day and taking small shakes in between so that I can eat dinner and have a shake before bed if I really need to.

My nut said late night Protein is good. It keeps you metabolism working later

I get hungry all day a couple hours after eating..at night before bed the hunger is strong. I eat my gummy vitamins which help lol :-) a popsicle which is 25 calories or a wedge of laughing cow cheese at 35 calories. Someone on this site advised me that if you're hungry and you're gonna eat try to stick to Protein. Grits are carbs..you get hungry soon after eating it.

      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!
