Miserably. Post Op 6 days and there is such good food around today with the family and none for the taking.. yum Tomato Soup.

I am just over 2 months post-op, I had one okay sized piece of turkey, one small scoop of potatoes (small kid spoon size), one small scoop on cranberries and a bite of a roll and I’m uncomfortably full...

I am still at the soft food stage. I had turkey (dark meat because it is more tender) mashed potatoes and some dressing. I ate very little and had no issues. I did feel very tired afterwards. It is the most carbs I have had in 5 weeks so I am sure my body was like "what the hell". All in total I ate about 3/4 of a cup of food. I did have a small piece (3 bites) of Sugar Free Chocolate pie. I mainly just ate the pudding without the crust. The day was fine for me- at 5 weeks out my mindset has DRASTICALLY changed about food. It's unbelievable. Whenever I got it in my head that I wanted more I just reminded myself that I was 30 pounds down today and it just wasn't worth it. At this stage in the game I know when I am hungry and when my head is hungry 😋

I'm glad everyone got through the holiday okay. I'm 11 months post op so I had a little different situation as I could eat what ever I want. I tried to stick to my plan as much as possible. I had turkey and then a little bit of yams, broccoli casserole, stuffing and cranberry sauce. I shared a piece of cornbread with my 4 year old and I did have a few bites of pumpkin pie that I shared with my daughter. All in all everything went well.

      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!
