What do you need help with? A strawberry won't kill you but try your hardest to stick to the doctor's rules. They are there for a reason

Yeah for sure stick to the Dr's program or you will pay for it in the end! Not to be so dramatic but if it doesn't agree with you it will hurt coming up and you really don't want that pain! By my schedule I ate 2 pieces of broccoli and 1 mushroom cap and was in pain curled up for 5 hrs and only thing I could do is to wait til it passed.....

I am post open 1 week today I'm only supposed to be on liquids but today I smashed up a strawberry an chewed until it was nothing but mush

Sent from my SM-G928V using the BariatricPal App

I understand the urge to eat off of plan, but please don't do that. Strawberries have seeds. Even if it was mush, those seeds can lodge in your staple line.

The post-op stages are designed so that you can get in enough nutrition while you. are healing from major surgery. It may not be fun but it is for your benefit: to heal successfully without major complications.

As my NUT reminded us, it is only temporary. We can do anything for a short time.

Please have patience and follow your program and it will be over sooner than if you do something to cause complications.

Just focus on getting in all of your fluids and Protein and following your program.

You can do it!

      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!
