I cannot imagine that diet. I know you are strugglling and I hope you learn new foods and ways to eat. Where do you live, US? Some people in other countries don't have our foods. Your surgeon should have given you a diet plan. Your settings does not show your surgery date and it is helpful for us to know. There are so many Veterans here who have great knowledge. Good luck!

If you recently had surgery, can you focus on soft foods like cottage cheese, Protein Shakes, scrambled eggs? I hope you have someone to help you because this can be stressful. I wish you a great outcome and we are here to help you.

Call your doctor, make an appt w nutritionist, and explain to them that you need guidance and need them to give you a few sample menus. If you have a sample menu and work from that for a few days that will help you understand how to eat. I'd also recommend reading a book on your surgery type (sold on Amazon), and pay special attention to the post surgery nutrition chapters.

What you described does not sound right, but more importantly it sounds like you need some one on one instruction on this from a professional like a nutritionist. You cannot get what you need from asking folks on a message board....you need more assistance and we can't responsibly help you.

Did you have any post op nutrition classes at your surgeon's?

I am sorry if this all sounds harsh, but I am sincerely worried for you, and think you need more education than we can provide here.

      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!
