Hi y'all, I'm about 3 weeks out from surgery and I'm starting mushy foods tomorrow, right in time for vacation. However, in the full liquid stage, I've had some trouble eating certain foods (yogurt, milk, some types of protein) because of nausea. This has caused me to not eat as much as I should be able to during my full liquid stage. I'm excited to be able to eat more "real" foods but I'm terrified of getting sick. In addition, I am very sensitive post surgery to flavor and aftertaste. I am already very tired all of the time and I'm worried that nausea and my picky taste buds will keep me from beginning to increase my calorie intake. Have any of you struggled with something similar?

I have not had nausea or my taste buds change, but wanted to let you know the soft food stage is fun. My surgeon said that eating or drinking too fast or too much at a time is the primary reason for nausea after the first few days. So, maybe slow down and make sure bites are larger than a dime. Hopefully your taste buds will be normal again soon.

If the nausea continues, don't be shy about calling your doctor and asking for an anti-nausea medication to be called in. Mine did it for me, and I only needed to take it for a short time. Whereas ginger ale would have worked in the past, I can't rely on that anymore. There are tools out there. Once the nausea was under control, I was able to get the Protein down. Good luck!

      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.
