Whatever my doctor told me to eat. I don't know your doctor's policies on when to eat what.

I ate what my doc told me also...which was soft blended foods. I thought they were delicious since I had been doing the full liquids for 2 weeks. I had blended chicken stew, spaghetti, turkey chili...whatever the family had for dinner. I could not eat very much....about 3 or 4 teaspoons but it was enough.

Now I do not have Pasta at all. I use spaghetti squash and zucchini for my pasta's. I watch my carbs and count my calories!

I am three days into my third week. Currently I eat soft foods. I usually have plain greek yogurt and add my own fruits, like strawberries or grapes. I also occasionally have tuna (made with plain greek yogurt). I used to have tuna with a couple of crackers but I decided to cut simple carbs totally out of my diet (as much as possible). I also have low fat sargento cheese sticks.

Tomorrow I plan on making my version of shepard's pie using ground 99% fat free turkey, low fat mexican cheese blend, and mashed cauli. Can't wait.

Hope this helps!

      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!
