Hi Everyone had surgery on 02/24/09. So I'm new to this journey. I'm on Protein shakes and looking for any new recipes or other ideas on how to get the Protein in.:party:

you might want to check out the food section . You should be able to find some great recipes there.

There is a section for every stage of surgery there.

Welcome and good luck !

Hi I had my surgery 2-10-09 and I was on Protein Shakes for 3 wks after and now I eat alot of chicken in many different ways... grilled most of the time.... Im spanish so I have different ways of making them.. if interested let me know.. I was a person that never ate fish... Now I eat tilapia fish seasoned with a lil adobo low sodium.. and I spread butter I cant believe its not butter lite with a teaspoon of olive oil lite in a pan... its great.. broccoli with a lil adobo & butter. If you are a picky eater then you have to learn how to make foods at your likings... any more questions feel free to ask. I will help you with the lil that I know..

      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!
