Favorite foods post op?



Recommended Posts

I love sandwiches, from what Im reading, it seems that thats over for me now. How long did it take before you could eat regular food without any complications? Now that you can, what is your favorite food or snack?

Once you lose a good amount of weight, I don't see why you wouldn't eat a sandwich. However, it might be half of your sandwich, as you'll be full. I am 5 months out now and eat almost everything -- but in moderation. I am really good all week long and on weekends I splurge now and then with bits of my favorite foods, in moderation. It's great!

I need to stay away from spicy foods and some fruits hurt too.

I used to love a good sandwich - Not so much any more...the bread doesn't make me feel good. I will take a bite or two of the sandwich with the bread, then just eat the insides. Same way with pizza - I eat a couple of bites of the crust, then just the toppings.

I don't love the same foods I used to...I don't like or crave Pasta like I used to. I don't crave bread like I used to.

"Favorites"...a BBQ chicken pizza made with a Mission Carb Balance tortilla shell. Homemade chili. Grilled steak. Roasted broccoli and cauliflower.

I'm 2 years out and not had pizza - too scared of the feeling it would give - closest I have came is to skim the topping off and had that.

I'm three months out and I can eat a slice of pizza ok,but dense meats ,like pork roast hurts after more than a couple of bites,pulled pork is ok. chicken goes done the easiest. Oh and hamburger is even worse than pork roast,so If I want a burger I'll eat a veggie burger,these are bun less by the way.

Three months out and can eat pizza but only a few bites of crust, chewed verrrrry well. I can't eat most bread carbs including sweets which I am grateful about because those were my downfall. And forget about popcorn (just came back from seeing Gone Girl) and candy.

Ground beef and I don't agree but chicken, slow-cooked red meats, and fish thats been baked, broiled, poached, or grilled go down nice and easy. Pork does give me problems though, even slow-cooked. I was never much of a pork eater pre-op so no huge loss there.

      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!
