Greek yogurt, refried Beans (fat free), cheese, personal instant mashed potato cups, hummus. Are you allowed vegetables yet? Get the steam in the bag kind. it'll get easier and your choices will broaden soon! I'm 5 weeks out and can eat about anything now. Good luck :)

String cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt. Make a few ahead of time, sugarfree pudding spiked with Protein powder, you add it when you make it. Can't taste it.

Hope you're doing well back at work!

SF Jell-O, yogurt, 1% cottage cheese. In a week or so you can add deli meat, I loved smoked turkey!

I kept cottage cheese and parmesan cheese at work and would bring Tomato sauce in a little babyfood jar.. Dump all together and microwave for a savory meal/snack. Hummus was delicious to eat with just a spoon. I'd also bring a small container of curried lentils and melt half a piece of cheese on it in the microwave.

Now that I'm eating all foods, I keep Quest Protein bars at work. They're delicious and have 17 grams of glorious Fiber and 20 grams of Protein for 160-200 calories depending on flavor.. For a meal I'll eat a whole one.. for a snack I'll eat half.

Another favorite snack is just a piece of deli meat wrapped around a slice of avocado. I think I started deli meats in week 3 or 4 and it went down really easy.

Anderson Split Pea Soup or Low fat Turkey chili (dump in cup and heat in microwave)

Protein drinks

Starbucks Instant Decaf (great with skim milk or soy milk for 9 grams of protein)

No sugar added apple sauce cups

As others have mentioned: Greek Yogurt cups, low fat string cheese (great with a slice of lunchmeat rolled around it), low fat lunch meat, cottage cheese

      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!
