Yay Starting Soft Foods!



Recommended Posts

I I started soft foods yesterday and the only thing I've tried really so far is a 1 egg omelette and a sprinkle of ff cheese. Am I supposed to get full after a couple of bites? Because I can't eat the whole egg but about half of it, in like a 30 min setting. Kinda freaking out! Love the egg though :D

I just asked this because I was the opposite. I was able at 1 month to eat a whole piece of whole wheat toast with an egg. The answers varied. Mostly people were like you- not able to do the whole thing yet at this point.

Wasn't that the most delicious thing in the world though- after all that time on liquids/purees?!

I had the same experience. Each week I feel like I can eat a little more, but it still amazes me how little I need before I get full. Isn't it crazy? My eyes still haven't caught up to the size of my stomach.

My eyes still think my stomach is still pre-op size. Every time I go to get food I'm like well of course I could handle this much! It's like nothing. And then halfway through I'm like ohhh....can't eat the rest. It's really pretty goofy.

I'm really confused about the food stages. I'm pre-op obviously. The first 2 weeks I'm on full liquids, then solids. I was told solids mean purée? I can image purée 'ing meats. Yuck!

My doctor and nut said that you can eat soft Proteins like fish and eggs and ground meat and just chew them really well to a puréed consistently in your mouth . I was concerned about that too. meat paste sounded sooo gross !

You'll be surprised at what you want after the liquid only stages and how all of a sudden tastes are wonderful that never were.

And, occasionally, things you loved you can't even stand to smell.

      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!
