No! They expand. Ask your surgeon's office to be certain.

Nope, everything I've read/been told was to avoid Pasta, rice, etc. for at least 6 or so months...better to avoid for life.

As a side note, my nurse in the hospital told me about a guy who died after surgery. He had it done with another Dr (he was about 6 weeks out) and was told not to eat any pastas, rice, etc.

Well he couldn't resist and had some. Messed up his stomach bad and they couldn't get it closed up in time. He died on the ER table. She was literally in tears telling me about how it hit her hard.

Your tummy is still healing. Please don't have any more. I know it feels good to eat them, but that guy didn't realize it could kill him. The last thing you want is to get sick or worse from a few bites.

Don't beat yourself up. Just keep on trucking and you'll do fine.

Homemade?? :P

Well I eat a piece of low sodium turkey meat,

Or all the other stuff we said on the last post.

If you need crunch try kims magic pops

They sell them on Amazon if you can't find them in your area,

One of those with hummus, or tuna etc is very good

I thought I would get better answers if I post in the food & Nutrition forums.

      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!
