Did anyone skip mushy stage?



Recommended Posts

I was on liquid only (thin liquid) for nearly 2 weeks before I went onto pureed food. So yes, from what you've said, you'll be ready for pureed/mushy food by the time you see your specialist/surgeon.

I had trouble just with liquids at the beginning and I was strogly advised NOT to try mushed food any earlier. However I did start pureed food 2 days before i was supposed to because I was bored to tears with liquid only.

Good luck and take care.

I have to eat slowly. I found that if I eat solid food too fast I get a "I need to burp feeling" not pain so much but pretty uncomfortable.

I was banded on the 23rd and I do the same thing. I see my doctor on the 27th and he will decide If I need a fill or not. He said if I was still losing then there was no need for one yet.

I'm hungrier than I was 2 weeks ago definitely. I'm hoping for a fill because right now it's all willpower no band help LOL

Me too. Though I don't think I could eat what I used to, amount wise because I do get fuller quicker. That may be all in my head but that's ok, I'll take 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.

        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!
