Harriet and LadyM...
I guess you would say I’m eating on a soft food diet.
Pretty much what I’ve been doing anyway, just need to stay that way. Soup, eggs, applesauce, white rice no grains and no acid foods. Yogurt must be vanilla because some fruits are good. And jello
Andnpudding.
One site says I can eat white rice other site say no brown rice, but I think I’ll stick with white cause brown has a husk. Also the meals need to be small. Bananas and crackers are ok. If bread is too soft it can clog the opening to my hernia. And crusty bread can irritate it as well.
The surgery involves taking the top of the stomach and wrapping it around the esophagus where it enters the stomach. The top of your stomach has a muscle that acts like you anus. My muscle has weakened and has ballooned causing the hernia. This muscle is the gateway to your stomach and the acid from my stomach has weakened it.
This surgery means I won’t be able to eat normal amounts food for the obvious reasons and for awhile won’t be able to handle anything that’s not soft until it heals.
But at the moment I have a sharp pain where the hernia is. If I sit still I don’t hurt, but is I move around I feel like I have a stick in my upper stomach area right below my right boob.
