I have a question for those of you more than a couple months post op. My hubby and I are going on a little vacation to New Orleans in November. I will be 5 1/2 weeks out. Can you all tell me what my diet will be around then? I know everyone is different and I plan on making smart meal choices, but I was just wondering if I will be able to eat regular food, not mashed or pureed? Thanks!

I live in New Orleans. I won't lie -- food and drink is a major part of the city, and is what most tourists are really attracted to, but our music and cultural scenes are pretty awesome, too.

Have a good trip!

I wasn't off puréed food until my 6 week appointment. Even after that it was a soft food diet for another 6 weeks.

I'm 9 weeks out and have been going out with friends and my DH for about a month. I bring along a powdered Soup and get hot Water. Then I pay for an extra plate and usually take a little bit from my DH plate.

I'm still only eating about 3-4 ounces so if I do order my own meal I take most of it home and have leftovers for a few days.

You are the first person I have come across on here whose plan sounds more conservative than mine! :-)

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
