Any good places you suggest to eat when you are in the soft food/approaching the regular food?

Are you allowed ground meats and legumes yet? If so, any place that serves chili is a good option, since they usually serve cups of it and it's high Protein.< /p>

Yeah that's a good idea. Maybe a place like panera might be good?

Yep! I believe they have turkey chili and black bean Soup on their normal menu, so both of those would be good, high Protein options.

Diners are also good, especially those that do 24 hour Breakfast. You can always get some soft scrambled eggs

I don't go out to eat very often, but when it is necessary, I head for a place Baker's Square, Panera, Bob Evans, etc., for lunch or dinner (large variety for everybody) or anyplace I can get an omelet or eggs for Breakfast. Also, I agree that anyplace that offers chili or a hearty Soup is ok.

Always nice if you have someone to share with. Otherwise, ask for a "to go" container right away. There will be leftovers. :)

I pretty much ate at home during that period. Frankensleeve did not like any foods too well. But the few times I did eat out, it was Mexican food. Re-fried Beans and guacamole, queso, and the finely ground taco meat.< /p>

One of my first meals out was Mexican as well. Our favorite place serves "Mexican Breakfast" on Saturdays, so I had eggs with some cheese and enchilada sauce and some refried Beans. I think I got about three meals out of it with all the leftovers!

I tried refried Beans at a restaurant, and it was a terrible experience.

I've been successful anywhere where they have Soup.. or fish..

      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!
