Post-op Diet Phases



Recommended Posts

I have been hearing and reading that the instructions are not the same accross the board, so I am curious.

What phases did you have post-op for your diet and how long did each phase last?

Mine is:

1-2 days clear liquids

10-14 days liquids, yogurt, sf Jello and sf pudding

10-14 days "soft" foods; I.e. tuna, lf deli meats, fish, Soups, retried Beans, cottage cheese, etc.

10-14 days "chopped" foods; I.e. Ground turkey, chicken, plain crackers, cooked veggies, etc.

Finally, regular foods

Each "phase" is recommended to be 10-14 days but my dr said I can move on when I feel comfortable. I'm10 days post-op and adding some soft foods into my diet.

      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!
