At 8 weeks I was transitioning from purees to soft solid foods, with the following rules:

--3 meals per day of no more than 3 ounces each, no snacking

--each meal should consist of at least 2 ounces of high Protein food (meat, eggs, dairy, Beans, soy, etc.)

--if you eat 2 ounces of high protein food and then want to eat an ounce of fruit or non-starchy veggies, you may

--everything should be something you can cut easily with a fork

--no potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, grain-based food, or sweets

--no raw vegetables

Things I eat fairly regularly: turkey burgers, all kinds of fish and shellfish, poached eggs, dried fruit, avocados, mini babybel lite cheeses, all-natural yogurt, nonfat cottage cheese, chicken, Peanut Butter (I like the "Naturally More" brand with flax seed), cashew butter, refried beans. And I'm a big fan of adding hot sauce to my food, it doesn't bother my stomach a bit.

I'm 7 1/2 weeks now and I eat pretty much everything (including potatoes). I haven't yet tried bread, rice, or Pasta yet tho. I was sposed to wait for 8 weeks before I started raw veggies and fruits, but I ordered a salad last week. It was yummy. no problems.

I was on a 4 week liquid diet and 4 weeks of soft foods. I can now eat everything in small amts, but they don't recommend bread, rice, Pasta for 6 mths.

      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.

      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!
