That would be something you need to ask your doctor.

Did they not send you home w/ a list of specific foods you can have or examples ?

Did they say FULL liquids. Because full liquids is not mashed potatoes.

Full liquids means anything you can suck through a straw . But if you do not know , they did not send a list then you need to call your docs office ! Every doc is different in what they allow

My nutritionist gave us these guidelines:

Protein Drink (Ultra Meal or Bariatric Essentials)

Water

broth (low sodium)

Diluted juice

sugar free Jell-O

sugar free Popsicles

Crystal Light

Skim Milk

Hope that helps!

OOPS! Forgot to add cream Soups. A lot of people have recommended the soups on the go. Easy to warm up and sip from the cup.

full liquids choices boost, ensure ,slimfast ,glucerna, no sugar added carnation instant breakfast with skim milk. full liquids food choices skim milk 1% lowfat cream Soups strained sugar free low fat puddings slimfast light yogurt

This is why its important to ask YOUR doc. My doc did not allow puddings. its not a liquid or yougurts. So when in doubt ask your doc.

Colton is correct, each doctor has his own set of rules. Please contact your surgeon's office. If he does not have a list, then ask what can you have.

      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.

        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!
