What did you eat and/or drink while still in the hospital?



Recommended Posts

I am wondering what you were able to keep down while still in the hospital? From what I'm reading, I will be given pureed foods before discharge?

I wasn't, but all docs are different. I didn't get to purees until I was 4 weeks postop, which is probably longer than most surgeons require. In the hospital, I had ice chips, Water, a couple of 1oz servings of broth, & a couple of ounces of Jello. I was on clears for 2 weeks & full liquids for 2 more weeks after that.

I only got liquids in the hospital. Didn't get purees until week 4.

My surgeon let me go when I decided that I was up for some SF Popsicle on day 3. Before then, a lick of SF rice pudding, a lick of SF Jello, a small sip of juice.

I loved swishing ice Water in my mouth and spitting it out. I didn't think I could stomach swallowing it, but it really hit the spot in my dry mouth.

I only had Clear Liquids in the hospital. I don't think I did pureed until 3 weeks. I had Water, diet iced tea, Jello, and broth. Very, very small amounts, and that 1 oz. medicine cup was my best friend.

I got nothing and liked it.

Okay, honestly they gave me about 4 oz of Water after my leak test. And then I was more or less sent home to clear liquid land. No purees until week 4.

I wasn't allowed even a drink of Water until after my leak test (24hrs. after surgery). I was then given Water, hot tea, and broth. I was allowed puréed at 2 weeks out.

      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.
