So I went to my two weeks appointment today I get to eat soft mushy foods yay! Problem is had a little mashed potatoes and it was nasty. So I have to go on the road I was wondering like if I could find something to eat somewhere. Like Wendy's or mccalisters something help please!

In my humble opinion, the best option is to pack a cooler with foods that you know are on your plan and palatable. There is a lot of uncertainty when you are on the road which could lead to a situation where there are no options that are on plan.

Can you bring food with you? Mashed potatoes was never on my list for mushy foods. What other items are on your list? Can you travel with any of those. When I first started foods, I was worried and made sure to be home just in case I had an issue. Maybe you could mash up come chili from Wendy's?

Wendy's chili was not on my plan, nor were mashed potatoes. On my plan, my travel foods during the puree foods stage were cottage cheese, chicken salad, and sugar free Jello. If your plan allows yogurt, that is a good option to pack too.

No one is going to have the same plan. Example most people had a liquid diet pre-op I had 1500 calories. So I don't think anyone plan is going to say the same thing.

I agree. Always best to check with your program before deciding to consume anything. If Wendy's chili is on your plan then go for it.

food for thought Wendy's chili is good calorie Fiber Protein but has 1100 g of sodium...

Yeah I'm close to 5 weeks out and am learning I need to take Protein Drink or powder EVERYWHERE in case I suddenly get shaky and need Protein. I should invest in a little cooler so I can take Greek yogurt or other options. You won't need carbs when you are out and about. Not for the first months. Save those for at home.

      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!
