What are you "eating" Weeks 2-4 post op?



Recommended Posts

I'm 11 days post op, in week 2. I'm eating the following:

Breakfast: 3 tablespoons cream of wheat w/ 1 teaspoon of SF rasberry jam (no seeds)

Breakfast snack: 3 tablespoons cream of mushroom Soup w/ 1 tablespoon of melted shredded cheese (and 1 scoop of Protein powder)

Lunch: 1/2 Pure protein High Protein Bar

lunch snack: Going to eat 3 tablespoons mashed potatoes w/ 1 tablespoon of homemade Tomato sauce I'm using for the family's spaghetti & meatball dinner tonight

Dinner: Working on that / probably cream of broccoli soup w/ 1 scoop of Protein powder

What do you guys have?

What about fluids? What do you guys drink to keep those fluids up? I know we can't / shouldn't eat & drink at the same time, so what keeps you filled up & meeting your daily intake? I'm expected to have 32 oz of Fluid for now. Not quite there yet, unless you count my little 'liquid' meals :)

Week 4 Breakfast: Two Tbs malt-o-meal mixed with milk to make a liquid Mid-morning: Protein shake Lunch: 1/2 cup Strained Light Healthy Choice cream Soup Mid-afternoon: Protein Shake Dinner: 6 oz light greek yogurt eaten over an hour I'm only allowed liquids, LF/SF Yogurt and pudding, or popcycles until Feb. 7.

For fluids, I fit in enough Water or crystal light to add in to the rest of my fluids to 64 oz.

Wow! I'm impressed. I was still on full liquids until day 18. Even at 5 weeks I can't eat even close to that much. I've gotten 55-65 oz. fluids everyday since day 5 and liquids, broths and yogurt go down fine. But for anything more solid like bean Soup, cream of wheat, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, refried Beans, eggs, tuna fish, etc. I can only eat about 2 tablespoons no more than 2 - 3 times a day. I get so stuffed I can't drink for an hour or two even if I was allowed to. I still get most of my Protein from shakes. You are progressing astoundingly well.

      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!
