10/17. I am currently on soft foods/mushies. Today I was able to eat one small meatball and it was like Christmas morning!

I want Christmas morning! LOL

Though I think I'm lucky now to get blended veggies. I do love my veggies!

I miss veggies! I can't wait until I can have some kale! I think the hardest part of the pre/post op diet for me is the lack of real food. I mean one can only have so much Soup and Jello

Just had my first cream of chix soup, it was good. Really soup is way better than broth. I'm hoping blended veggies taste good, I'll add a little broth to them.

When you get to mushies, throw whatever you like in a blender!

Tomorrow will be making Taco Soup, minus the meat and in the blender it goes.

I told my daughter years ago, I could live off that stuff.

I'm actually excited!

Don't eat anything too soon , unless you talk with your Dr first.

2wks tomorrow. I've been following this forum for 7mths and one thing that gets pounded into you is "follow your Drs orders & just b/c you can eat something, doesn't mean you should".

This are a great group of ppl and a lot are very successful. They're here to help.

Week one of my pre op diet I can have veggies. Like day one sample menu had an apple. Day two carrots. Do you like those kind of veggies? And Soups with veggies don't need to be pureed yet. I know everyones pre op diet is different. Week 2 is stricter I guess to get gradually used to the post op diet.

My nutritionist said it helps to think of each diet phase as 2 weeks. Because you can say I am half way thought the first week, half way to the next diet phase etc. I liked that. Yes it might take a bit longer for some people in reality but it's about 2 weeks, 2 weeks and 2 weeks. LOL so I even checked the calendar as soon as I got my surgery date, to see which date I will be back on small portions of table food.< /p>

You can put some sugar free redi whip on your Jello so you don't get bored with it. It tastes so much better. I start my 2nd week of pre op tomorrow. My surgery is Friday!!!

      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!
