I couldn't do the puree thing either. I did some plain greek yogurt with stirred in canned (no sugar added) fruit for Breakfast. My top and favorite meal was canned chicken with broth and steamed carrots and green Beans. It is kind of a Soup. The canned chicken was easier on me then rotisserie chicken and less waste. One can of chicken made 3-4 meals so I made some @ twice a week. There are lots of variations you could do. I always have unsweetened applesauce and of course SF popsicles. Good luck to you!

If your not going to follow what your surgeon and nutritionist planned out for you then why bother.

They do that so your body heals meaning your new stomach properly.

You could do real damage if you don't follow the stages of eating as laid out for you.

I know I'm being harsh but I really don't want you to have any problems if they can be avoided.

I didn't puree anything. I picked things that were already soft enough for me...yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, eggs, hummus, etc.

I was never told I should puree anything. I was told as long as I could chew it enough where it could pass through a straw then it was fine.

I ate a lot of ground turkey with Tomato sauce. It was pretty much my go-to meal. Also Wendy's chili.

      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!
