Help! Mushies?



Recommended Posts

What are some of the best foods, to start with, as I begin my mushies? What foods to try with caution? And foods to stay away from..

Also, if I'm tryin a new food, how long after I take the first bite, should I wait to see if my body rejects it-- before I take another bite.

Any advice or suggestions please :D

My doctor suggested cottage cheese, yogurt, cream of wheat, creamy Soups, tuna w/lilght mayo, mosist fish... in other words soft wet food. For some strange reason I was able to eat pretzels 4 wks post op. I chewed them real well though. If I ate something that was not working I knew IMMEDITELY, it just would feel funny going down. I really never had any vomiting issues but the first 4-6 weeks if I did not chew my food really-really well I would get the "foamies" where I would spit up foamy syliva for hours and be totally uncomfortable. Once I chewed my food 50+ times then I was OK. It was the worst to go thru that, the foamies would last any where from a hour to 12 hours (my worst case). That is the way my body was telling me to chew my food more.

I did Soups blended,mashed potatoes,light yogurt, cream of wheat, activia light, apple sause, sugar free pudding and Jello, fat free cool whip, your taste and appetite will be different to though so just try one new thing at a time eat slowly and don't stress. For me if it isn't gonna work I know instantly it's such a weird feeling. I'm nearly 4 months post op and I can't do any seafood or chicken but I can eat steak. Everythings trial and error so be patient and take it one day at a time. Good luck

      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.

        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.
