Passover Foods



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm in the middle of cooking for Passover tonight, and I have no idea how much of what I'm making I'll be able to taste, let alone eat. I'm making turkey and veggies in the middle of it all, so I know I'll be fine with that.

What about matzo? I'm assuming that it is a no-go like bread is, but how are small pieces? Matzo balls in my fantastic Soup? Does anyone know if I can have a few bites? I'm skipping the feels-like-lead no-flour Desserts in lieu of baked pears, I know that should be ok.

Now, back to my kitchen!:thumbup:

I'd be afraid to try Matzo balls be cause of their consistency, but you might be okay with Matzo bread since it is like a cracker. Many people people say crackers go down okay.

I hope you will post and let us know what you were able to eat.

Happy Passover!

I had matza last night and it was fine. The matza balls in the Soup I only tasted one bite because I was afraid of it getting stuck. I am just sticking to chicken and veggies for the most part.

I did fine last night...unfortunatly I had snacked on haroset all day (fruit and nut mixture) so I had room for a little matzo ball Soup and that's it(it had chicken so I got plenty of protein). My family tells me I made a lovely turkey and yummy side dishes, and an amazing dessert, but I was too full to enjoy. I really wanted a bite of the dessert too (baked stuffed pears) but that's ok.

      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.

      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!
