I am finding all doctors are so different. Mine had me eat a two week under 40 carb diet up until the night before surgery. Then only 2 days clear , 1 week full , and I started purée on my 9th day. And I am on 10 days out from surgery , it was feb 21. And I get to eat mush in 5 more days ....I'm seeing on here some people are on liquid for weeks

Yes it is weird that doctors don't have a more uniformed approach to the post op diet..

How are you feeling? do you feel ready to progress to the next step?

I'm barely doing the purée. By the time I get 2 Protein Shakes in. A little purée. I'm done for the day.

That sounds about right you really need time to "build" to larger amounts just try to build up to your Protein and Water targets.

And if your not ready when the next stage comes wait a few more days until your ready.

Yeah all the docs are different I was out on Clear Liquids but with Premier Protein shakes until my first post op appointment with my doc and the. Went straight to purée but I think it's important to follow my docs plan since he is the one treating me but I love reading everyone else's experiences

Good advice, & as long as you r satisfied with whatever small ounces you are on don't increase your portion, over time it just comes along.

Vitamins, vitamins,vitamins.....for the long haul

Thanx for advice. I am taking it slow. Vitamins are a lot of work to get all down

      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!
