I am three weeks post-op and this whole past week I've been struggling mentally with the no chewing/all pureed diet. I want something more substantial than Soups, cottage & ricotta cheese, and yogurt. Anything I try that is thicker or heavier such as refried Beans or pureed chicken/gravy, it just goes down like sludge and sits like a rock in my esophagus. The thickest most substantial food I've been eating is cream of wheat with unflavored Protein powder.

But today I ate one entire scrambled egg! It was like eating real food! I got to chew something up and swallow. It went right down with no sticking and no upset stomach issues. I can feel the restriction but it's a 'Not Hungry' feeling as opposed to a 'So Full And Stuck' feeling.

My outlook has changed! My tiny quick moment of regret has passed. I can eat eggs!!

Scramble them super soft with a bit of Gouda and finely diced onion and spinach when you get permission. It's heavenly. I lived off crust less quiche during my soft foods stage. Mine lasted about 6 weeks, so I made every type of quiche imaginable.

I, too, discovered eggs during week 2 and they have been the one food that has not made me feel bad. I love making omelettes, using Pam in a nonstick skillet, I sautee some diced sweet onion and green pepper til done, then add my beaten egg, seasoned with tabasco, salt and pepper. When egg is almost set, I add some cheddar cheese and fold over, and I have a delicious omelette. I have yet to finish a whole one, usually end up with a bite or two left, but it doesnr hurt my stomach and I feel like I have eaten "real" food.

      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.
