Hello! I am new to this forum. I had my surgery 9/24/18, which was 10 days ago. I am wondering what can I eat? As of now I am still doing full liquids I have a booklet from the doctor but it is extremely confusing lol. I am really craving some wheat thins and cream cheese ( would that be too risky?). Any recipes or tips would be great.

If you are confused, please do not feel bad calling your doctors or nutritionists... after the amount of money you've just tossed to them... they are there to help you... you paid for it... use it!

Do not eat any wheat thins or cream cheese this soon post op... just, don't do it.

Did they really install a band on you? I'm shocked that they are still installing these things in people with all the problems and companies stopping production.

That aside, give your doctor / nutritionist a call and speak with them, have them tell you want you can cannot eat.

If your directions say full liquids, then it's full liquids, no chunks, no chewing. Everyone's plan is different...

  • Water
  • Broth
  • Jell-O
  • Decaf tea
  • Decaf coffee
  • Sugar free Popsicles
  • Sugar free jello
  • Sugar free drinks that are not carbonated
  • Thinned Creamy Broths / soups
  • Protein Shakes
  • Diluted Milk
  • Diluted no-sugar added juice
  • Gatorade Zero, Powerade Zero, electrolytes without sugar

Overall if you're unsure, I would follow up with your NUT or surgical team

The band is so totally different for food restrictions it's pretty crazy. You don't have to worry about content really as there is no dumping or any other food related reactions other than quantity and "texture". From what I recall, I was on liquids for all of a day. Then it was purees for like... A day. Then soft solids, then normal foods. Chew until puree before swallowing and the same no drinking while eating. It was a long time ago for me... but I do recall it was so totally different than when I was revised to the bypass. Same surgeon did both, same team. So many differences!

When I was on full liquids, lentil Soup was my life saver, such good flavor after all the clear liquid stuff

      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.
