Protein Shakes are the big one I didn't see mentioned. Sounds like you're on full liquids? You could have sf popsicles to get a little bit of different texture. Protein soups/broths were a godsend my first 2 weeks when I would get tired of the shakes and protein Water.< br />
Hang in there! I know the liquid phase isn't fun, but the results you'll see and eventually the way your body will feel will make it all worth it!

Does your surgeon provide a nutritionist? Do they have a plan that they want you to follow?

It sounds to me like you're on the right track, but every program is different.

You might try looking at Dr. Weiner's videos on You Tube. They are a bit different from my doctor's program, but I like what he has to say and might be changing my routine a bit.

Never be shy to ask for opinions on here. Sometimes I feel like these people know more than my doctor!

Milk is a full liquid. Just make sure everything is super watery for the next little bit. Everything should be able to be easily sucked through a straw for the first 14 days. (No straws.. just tells you how watery it should be).

Premier Protein ready-made shakes (Costco) have been a very helpful tool for me. chicken broth and Bone Broth were very helpful for me when trying to get a break from the consistent "sweetness" of most Protein supplements. Also Greek yogurt, but stay away from formulations that contain more grams of sugar than protein.

I had surgery 2 days after you! I just started my full liquid diet today. I had my surgery in Mexico, so don't have a nutritionist. Here are the some of the things I was approved to eat this week (please note that everyone's diet is different). I was warned that Tomato based products may be too acidic but that I could try them and see how I tolerate them.

single grain baby Cereal thinned with milk or Protein Shake

thinned cream of wheat

boiled chicken (can be seasoned) pureed with enough broth to go through through a funnel

level 1 or 2 baby food (stick with fruits cuz I hear the other stuff is gross)

I am actually allowed to have cottage cheese and don't have to blend it

Yoplait whipped yogurt

low sodium V-8

      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!
