Craving Tomatoes...when can I have them?



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 4 weeks post-op and craving tomatoes. When can I have them? If I took the skin off, I could make it a mushy food, but then I worry about the seeds. Guidance anyone?

I have been eating Tomato Soup for several weeks, so not so concerned about the acid in the tomatoes.

I don't see a problem why you can not have them now. Make sure you chew them fully.

I can't eat any veggies or fruits until 8 weeks

I had them about a week ago. Did fine with them and eating more for supper tonight. Surgery June 3rd. I say go for it. If worried about about the seeds just cut it thin and pick around them

Glad I'm not the only one craving tomatoes! I tried Tomato around week 5. I just did a slice, peeled it and scooped some of the seeds out. It was delicious! I started adding diced tomato to my tuna, also. So good!

I had sliced tomatoes at week 4. With no issue. I made sure they were very ripe, and didn't eat the skins.

Yay! Mine are not quite ripe in the garden yet and I am 3 weeks post op, so I will be good to go when they are ready!

I had to wait 3 months for raw veggies with the exception of lettuce & Tomato. I was able to have those at 4 weeks. I haven't really felt like the lettuce, but grape/cherry tomatoes have been great.

I have been craving tomatoes too! I have always liked them but it has almost become an obsession! Got some Campbell's Sweet Basil Tomato Bisque Soup to soothe the craving.

      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!
