2 weeks out - first day on soft foods!



Recommended Posts

I am officially two weeks post-op as of today! I've never been so excited to eat scrambled eggs, and currently working on some chili (mostly the juice and a couple beans).

What I'm having trouble with so far is knowing when I'm full - simply because I'm not hungry even when I start to eat.

I ate about half an egg and stopped this morning because I was afraid of being miserable. I've eaten maybe an 8th a cup of chili and could keep going, (remember I'm not necessarily hungry and wasn't to begin with) to try to get in more calories and Protein, but then again I feel like I should stop to avoid misery.

Has anyone else had trouble knowing they are full without getting to that over-stuffed painful feeling? It's so weird to not be hungry!

I had my surgery on 8/6/2013, I am still rarely hungry and when I eat it is a couple spoons and full. I do not over due it, or I feel sick. It is so awesome though, to not eat plates of food. I start with my Protein and if I have room for veggies I eat some, but get so full fast. I eat 4-5 small meals a day, including snack like 8 almonds, or cheese stick.

      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.

      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!
