I’m on my soft food phase and going back to work this Monday after 6 weeks off . I work 10 hours a day with two 15 min breaks and one 30 min lunch . How do you guys prepare your lunches for work ? And what do you make for lunch ?

Invest in some microwave safe air tight containers to eat out of. Put your Protein in one, veges in the other, prepare meals everyday

For soft food stage, I did:

Puréed Beans (black or pinto). If you add a bit of cheese for the last 5seconds or so in the microwave, it’s great. And if you can tolerate it, eat with a bit of mild salsa or guac

Puréed egg salad. 2 eggs puréed with 1tbl each of mayo and Greek yogurt

Ricotta bake (google eggface ricotta bake). Sometimes I add a layer of puréed spinach.

I’m on liquid diet. However for the soft diet I am planning to pack Protein Shakes and smoothies, puddings and Soups Protein enhanced. I hope that you can have an wok environment that allows you to seep often. Good luck and remember that you are the only person that will take care of you and make that your priority.

If you're on soft foods you don't need pureed food. There are plenty of things you can eat. Yogurt, small curd cottage cheese, refried Beans, blended Soups, eggs, mashed bananas, apple sauce, humus, avocado, smoothies, tuna fish, oatmeal, cream of wheat, cooked vegetables, baked beans, guacamole, baked potato, sugar free pudding. The list is endless you just have to be creative.

      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!
