I am 9 days post op and am just now feeling good. Am on full liquids for another week and then off to soft foods. I am so happy it is over but really am looking forward to eating again! I am actually craving cottage cheese! I think I am just tired of sweet Protein drinks! Anyways, looking forward to this journey

It is amazing all the different diets the surgeons' but us on. My surgery was 9/11 and I was allowed to do cottage cheese, yogurt, refried Beans, sf pudding on day four and today I am to start with soft boiled eggs or poached eggs. food does look good, but I'm not hungry and trying to even get the above in is almost impossible for me. Just trying to get in all the fluids first. Agree the Protein Drinks are getting rather old. But we can look forward to eating somewhat normal down the road, just not as much.

Oldandyoung I agree with you! I have read books and blogs and, of course, my own post op instructions. There is such a large variance! I think my surgeon is on the conservative side, yet I am supposed to be on a 'normal' diet at 4 weeks. Can't imagine! I only have 3 more days before cottage cheese and soft boiled eggs. Am looking forward to something different. Even if only a few bites.

I agree, it is interesting the different diets we are all on. Supposedly, at 4 weeks I should be on a regular rny diet. Had fish yesterday with no issues. Am looking forward to continue hearing how everybody is doing throughout this experience!

      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!
