I cooked before my surgery and prepared many 2 oz food portions in advance. I ate my special "chicken zucchini souffle" many times, but today my body was not happy. I wonder if it was underlying anxiety just making me reject anything (I did wake up without an appetite). I wonder though if the vengeance that it passed with... if that is considered dumping? Or is dumping only for fat and sugar? I'm so confused. I don't know this body yet!

That is definitely not dumping! At least not in the dumping syndrome kind of way. Your body is constantly changing and you will be able to eat this again, just not right now. Listen to your body the best you can. Dumping syndrome would also be pain, shaking, etc. as the sugar dumps into your other organs (can't remember the process now)

chicken can be hard to eat after surgery. Generally it needs to be made very soft. To do this I take a chicken breast add a chicken bouillon cube and cook it in Water for a couple hours.

Oh, it's soft and creamy (I added broth and greek yogurt, pureed onions, eggs, zucchini....) it's been fine the first two weeks. I guess today was an 'off' day for 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.

      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!
