First day of soft foods - and I over ate!



Recommended Posts

The NUT wasn't kidding when she said my new pouch could only handle 2-4 ounces. After three weeks of liquids and Protein Shakes, I had my favorite meal - steamed blue crab (I'm from Maryland). I had four ounces and it was too much! I felt some still in my esophagus! But it was delicious and I feel close to normal human being now. I just know to only do 2-3 ounces for a bit!

Yep! I am still only able to handle 2-2.5 oz of solids. 3oz will make me slime and feel ill. I measure pretty much everything solid to avoid it.

Yes, I fill up quickly and need to be mindful of what is going on inside while I eat- brings me back to one of my original problems- lol.

I think also, after liquids, soft foods are a different experience and need to be learned. I am re-learning everything now and you know what? I'm loving it!

I'm not allowed crab for 2 weeks yet but you have definitely planted a seed. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

It is a learning process.

I started measuring everything out too. I find four ounces is too much, so I try to stick to three. I'm getting there!

      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!
