You cannot gage stomach size with puree



Recommended Posts

I just got to eat real food for the first time today. I ate 2 small deviled eggs and and 30% of a piece of salmon. That's not very much and I'm glad. I felt like I could eat too much during puree but that all changed today!

It's weird isn't it??? lol! Just be careful.

I was only able to eat 2oz up till about a month ago. I can finally eat 4oz now. But 2oz even felt like I would explode most of the times. lol And believe me, your body will let you know if you've had even a little too much. You won't want to repeat that!

Congrats on moving to the next stage!!! You are closer and closer!

You ate TWO eggs and aren't dead? Oh, maybe you mean to halves, since they were deviled eggs...

Anyway, I am over 2 years out and one egg with some cheese and one sausage link is my limit.

I'm almost 3 months out and I can eat 2 poached eggs without any problem. I've been doing it for the past 6 weeks. I can't eat anything with it but I tolerate it really well. It stays with me for quite some time though. It's odd how I can eat 3 oz of Protein for lunch with veggie, drink my shake for Breakfast and eat 2 healthy Snacks during the day but come dinner time, I can barely eat 2 oz of protein. It's like I'm full from eating the rest of the day. I'm still trying to adjust my eyes to my stomach size. I put food on my plate and think THAT'S ALL???, yet I can't eat it all. I love it!

      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.

      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!
