SALMON HELL!!!



Recommended Posts

Ok so I’m 15 days post op & I’m pain free, tolerated liquid stage really well & puree is pretty good too.

Cut to today & I made the family salmon fillets. “Well this should be easy” I thought, it’s soft & mushes easily...so had two forks of salmon & chewed it to mush. Cue two minutes later sheer agony. I can feel it just sat at the top of my stomach...gurgling, painful & stuck.

YUK. That’ll teach me!!! Will I ever eat solid food again!!!

You will!! What op did you have?

We are all so different. I was eating fish before I left hospital - but even now, it is goes down more easily raw than cooked.

Great you are pain free - welcome to “the losers’ bench” - now the fun begins, and learning new ways of eating is fun, it is the thing that actually makes the weight drop off, but it is also the frustrating bit!!

Ooops I postedin the wrong “zone” sorry!

I had VSG & I think by all accounts it went pretty well! I tolerate liquids, Soups, smoothies, yogurts really well, I have a spoon of Peanut Butter for a bit of Protein, & a spoon of cream cheese. All go down really well!

But jeez...30 min on & that salmon is sat there!! I think because I felt so well & normal I thought “I bet I can just tolerate normal stuff if I chew well...” BIG MISTAKE!!

I'm also wondering if it's just Salmon. I'm 5 months post op and was so looking forward to the grilled Salmon but I got so sick with only having 2 oz. I'm finding that the things I loved before are not agreeing with me now.

I'm 8 years post-op and still can't eat salmon. Even with a sauce, it's too dense and too dry. I can't eat tuna either, same problem. Halibut, cod, and trout are no problem.

      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!
