I'm 6 weeks out and I had the worst craving for wonton Soup and I haven't had cravings at all, this would be my first... So is wonton soup not a good choice so soon after the surgery?

A wonton wrapper is made of bleached flour..... I would say maybe drink the broth but no wontons :-/

I usually ask the server to hold the wontons and just bring the broth. I'm 2 1/2 years out, so I could eat the wonton, but then I don't have enough room for any of my entrée, and the broth satisfies my craving for the wonton Soup.

@luv2plum : I was in Google looking for gastric friendly restaurants and coincidently "Panda Express" showed up, apparently they carry several items that are low carb, high Protein, I also am learning to stir fry and use my new Wok, after doing research u found it is a healthy way to cook and u can omit negative items like corn starch, sugar, and not sacrifice taste, last night was my first attempt at Stir Fry Cashew chicken and it was awesome , surprisingly it is very simple ingredients and only took 15 min between prep and cooking, I also made enough for 3 servings since my wife is very healthy and wanted some, and had 1 serving left for today post-254362-14364469949885_thumb.jpg

Lol it's not that easy, you have to be very careful and learn to identify nutritional amounts in items, and try to memorize in what amounts, this is where my wife comes in, she's a genius in math, you need a good kitchen scale (Walmart $10.00) and measuring tools ( cups, scoops etc..), and make Google and Siri your friend, the drawback is that you can't have things like Sweet and Sour, and breaded stuff, but good luck......

I had wonton Soup in my clear liquid phase.... but without eating the wontons, of course.

These diets we go home with from our NUTS are guides but not etched in stone, it is intended for people who have no idea what liquid, puréed, soft really is, but once we get the hang of it we need to think outside the box, just in Fluid alone I have over 9 choices of what I can drink and the worse one only has 1g of carbs, and none are sort drinks, if your gonna make a life changing commitment then you need to have a great inventory to work from, good luck all

Olive oil

6-8 med shrimp

1/8 cup chopped green onion

1/8 cup chopped carrots

1/8 cup mushrooms

1/3 cup bell pepper( you can use red or yellow)

Pinch of salt

Pinch of pepper

1/2 finely minced garlic clove

1/4 tbs chili powder

1/4 tbs ginger ( fresh is better)

2 tbs white cooking wine

      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!
