Food after surgery



Recommended Posts

My husband is having surgery oct 11th and I'm concern with how to make it easy for him but not make myself and our 3 children have to stop eating the usual stuff just because he can't have it. Any suggestion on how to help him without making our lives and his miserable Thanks

He can have Protein and veggies once he starts soft-regular foods...so if you make a lean meat and veggies for dinner I would imagine it wouldn't be too hard. The hubby loves beef stew and I just eat the broth, beef(if it's soft enough), and veggies. I don't mind not having the rice. That's what I do. And I keep the foods I can eat here ALL the time. I don't run out of my protein-rich foods, that keeps me from just grabbing my families Snacks. Hope this helps

I'm a single mom with a teenage son. Of course he has to eat or he gets grumpy. What I've learned having been out if surgery for a week and a half....I am not hungry. I have my own stuff and he has his. Eventually he'll be able to eat high Protein meals. The best thing you can do is make meals focused around that once he's at that stage. It's healthier for you and your kids anyway. White flour and white sugars should be banned from the grocery shelves. Lol. All in all he is make a huge life decision and he's blessed to have a wife who cares like you do. :-)

      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'. ???

      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.

      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!
