I'm on 4th week post surgery



Recommended Posts

I've only lost 10 lbs initially but nothing since. I'm getting very discouraged. I also can eat more than I thought I would be able too. I ate a whole sandwich without any discomfort. Is this the way it should be? I think I'm the only person this hasn't work for.

Babsey, at three years out I cannot eat a whole sandwich. Please take it slow and easy. I hear it is pretty dangerous to over eat. I have no bread in my house, so I can't be tempted. I think eating carbs will make you crave more carbs. I do remember being on puréed food at six weeks post surgery. Good luck, and if I were you I would discuss with your surgeon and NUT.

4 weeks out and eating bread? i have 2 weeks full fluids, 2 weeks puréed then on to soft foods. i think it is to soon for sandwiches. also get a food scale and weigh out what you should be eating. you may not have the full feeling could be swollen still

You are going to make yourself sick. Your stomach is still healing.

I am 1.5 years out and just ate a sandwich today. It was a small one made out of a rap and it doesn't feel pleasant.

You might want to take it a bit slower! :-)

It will be 4 weeks for me on Tues and I'm eating pureed and soft foods and I can eat up to a 1/2 cup of food three times a day and all of it is Protein. I've lost 26 lbs, I notice if I do too much I feel nauseated! I can't imagine eating a whole sandwich right now. Are you not drinking Water before and after your meals? My surgeon said to not drink anything 30 min after your meal because it will flush it away and cause over eating.

This is a troll or someone who is unwilling to make change

I won't even be allowed to have bread on my food plan. Like most, I will be on liquids for 2 weeks, pureed for 2 weeks, soft foods for 2 weeks and then regular foods. Regular food includes 2 oz lean Protein and 1/4 cup vegetables. Carbs are of the devil!!! lol

My plan also doesn't allow bread until week 8 and then only in moderation. 4 weeks out I'm on pureed.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
