What kind of foods are you eating?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering what kind of foods/meals are you eating if you six weeks or more post op? I am going on seven weeks post op and have craving for Chinese/Thai food. Specially Yellow chicken Curry and Veggies, Pad Thai or Fried Rice. Aren't these all bad choices? Help what would you choose/do if you were me? What can we eat off these types of food menu? Help.

Don't suffer. Order it, you'll take 2-3 bites, and you're done. Craving satisfied. No stress. Put the rest in little containers and freeze.

I'd try to avoid most of the rice, though; and don't eat it everyday or force it down in full and stretch your stomach.

How do I contact this site's moderator? The app in my iPad for this site isn't working today. Anyone else have this problem today. .??

I'm just over 7 weeks out. I am still on soft foods. So I eat soft meats and cheese sticks only. Maybe order the meat portion of what your craving and no rice.

I am 8 weeks today and can eat anything my stomach can tolerate and so far it has tolerated everything I have given it. I, like you, had a bad craving for rice, veggies and chicken. I ate it. I made it fresh at home though. I took a couple bites, was satisfied for a couple hours then had a couple more bites... at this point, it is all about what you can tolerate. Remember to chew well and eat slow.

I am 14 weeks out and I eat anything I want. As stated before 3 or 4 bites and I am good. It is awesome to not worry about food and exercise. Don't get me wrong. I log my Protein. Protein is always first . Then liquids. And I am going to the gym to exercise, to strengthen my body. Not to lose weight. It is so amazing that I don't have to guilt myself out it a strange and wonderful thing. I wish that I had done this years ago. I am 55.

      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!
