I need suggestions and help.

I'm a month and a week post op.

I also work 2 jobs so I'm out of the house from 8am til about 10:30 pm. I've been packing food for the day, which isn't much obviously, but I need more options. What are your easy to grab and go foods? I've been doing chicken and Tina salad and sodium free coldcuts and things of that nature but I'm getting bored.

The other part of this is, foods that I normally really enjoy are starting to turn my stomach. I'm not sure if it's the food or it's actually me. It's happened the last few days. I thought I was hungry (it had been a couple hours between meals so it wasn't head hunger) and then when I went to eat I felt sick. Sick like, slightly nauseous and not hungry anymore.

Just wondering if anyone had any input for me. I do have a doctors appointment coming up so I will discuss it with him, but in the interim I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this.

(Side note, I used to always be hungry but then my DR. put me on omeprazole a week ago)

Thanks in advance!

I am over 3 months out. So my schedule is different and I do Keto Diet for myself. My day consist of the following:

Breakfast - shake or 2 egg Whites (boiled or scrambled) with 2 pieces of turkey bacon. Or a lettuce BLT wrap (turkey bacon of course and lite mayo).

snack 1 - Turkey salad (Romaine Lettuce, 2 oz of turkey and Slice Tomato). I also make my own Salad Dressing.

lunch - Stuffed green Bell pepper or diced chicken with guacamole, mozzarella cheese and some sour cream.

Snack 2 - Protein Bar

dinner - Whatever was left over from Lunch lol.

Snack 3 - 14 olives and 1 pickle. I love my Olives and Pickles.

My suggestion is try Pinterest. Type in "Low Carb or Keto Diet Recipes". You will find a lot of interesting recipes to try.

I hope this helps. This is just a limited list. Each week is different.

One of my favorite grab and go lunches might be the healthiest, but I like it. I purchased a bag of frozen meatballs at Coscto, carbs are very low and Protein high. The serving size is 5, but I only eat 3-4 and am full. Season with salt/pepper. I snack on cheese during the day too.

I've been making my own carb free chicken meatballs and making enough for the weak. I've done Buffalo, BBQ, and now chicken parm. They're what's saving me and helping me hit protein goals.

      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!
