3 weeks post op and need some diet opinions.



Recommended Posts

I know everyone has different diets from their NUTS but I'm just curious. I feel like I might be able to eat too much at one time. Today for instance I had half a cup of oatmeal made with Water and I felt like I could've ate more. And lunch I had about 3oz of Turkey with a lil bit of mayo and relish. Sound normal or too much? I'm just worried about failing at this just like every other diet attempt.

That sounds normal. Especially with soft things like oatmeal....they slide right through. You'll start feeling more restriction when you move from less soft food to to more solids. Quantity doesn't matter as much as overall calories and carbs.

My nutritionist always shows me a cup (a coffee mug) and tells me that it can hold about the same amount as my stomach. She states that I should try to fill it each time I eat. She also says that it is a game as well, kind of like tetris, I need to chew my food really well so it will fill all the spaces of my stomach. If i eat too fast and too big of bites I can potentially leave empty spaces. With things like oatmeal, I can eat more because they do fill in nicely without much chewing. Just stick with what your nutritionist says and you should be fine! Have a super day!

I'm 10 days post op and I'm eating about 4oz at each meal. I'm currently on full liquids so I'm having things like pureed Soups, greek yogurt and watery/pureed oatmeal. I'm able to do the 4oz comfortably and don't feel too full - perhaps I could do a little more but don't want to push it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
