Before and after foods?



Recommended Posts

Do you still eat some same foods or does your taste buds changed? What you no longer can eat? And what you still can eat?

Yep, eat basically what I want. Taste buds haven't changed. Haven't had issues with foods not settling well. I don't eat the same foods, however since that basically is how I became a fat ass, so I changed my habits and now strive for a healthy balanced diet.

The only food "change" for me has been coffee. I LOVED coffe before surgery. Drank it every am & knew exactly what was "good" coffee. Now . . CAN NOT tolerate the taste. And I am still grieving. I miss that warm, bitter morning tradition. Actually, I am completely caffeine free . . Probably haven't been caffeine free since I was 14 years old . . Ha, ha.

I loved ice cream before, now it just tastes too ... "bright", I mean, it tastes like pure sugar and fat, unless I make homemade. Also, the intense release of sugar into my blood stream makes me feel like the tail end of a 3 day bender :/

On the flip side, you couldn't have paid me to eat a mushroom before, now I purposely search out mushroom recipes! :P

I used to be a chocolate lover pre op now 3 months post op I cant eat ice cream or chocolate, after a bite or two my whole mouth and throat start tingling, like its telling me its way too much sugar at once, and once it goes down to my tummy I get nauseous. Great thing that I dont crave either...I dont necessarily follow a sugar free or low sugar diet but for some reason those 2 I cant handle.

      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!
