The only reason you leave a certain length of time between eating and drinking is because Fluid fills your pouch and prevents you from eating you recommended amount of food, it's really important to get as much goodness out of food as possible. And as for food I had my surgery on the 15th October and I have been told to start introducing soft foods after 6 weeks. Every surgeon is different, and from my understanding each approach gets slightly different results, but that is just my opinion :-p

I had salmon last night...with cucumber salad (vinegar dressing) no starch. I ate about 4 oz of salmon, it was very rare, which is easier to process, not dry at all. Cooked lightly in olive oil and lemon juice, with lemon pepper seasoning. Turned out great, and cooked 8 oz, so have some left for a salmon salad, (kinda like tuna salad, with fat free mayo, celery, onion, etc .)

I love mashed potatoes, but they fill me up too fast and stay in the pouch too long. I try to get my carbs from fruit and veggies.

My surgeon said potatoes are a great option but no rice or other starchy foods though. And I said I ate it over almost 3 meal periods silly that's 3 hours :).

I can't get it 6 times a day so I shoot for 4. 30 lbs down and counting :)

I move on to Cheerios and the like next week. Just softer foods.

It's funny how each surgeon and dietician are different lol.

I agree, they are all soooo different!

      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!
