Just a quick note that after 11 weeks I have found I have no limitations now. I have been able to eat anything I want (even a hot dog and roll at a cookout) with no effect what so ever. I do feel...
Just wanted to give an update. I am now 8 weeks post op today and feeling pretty good. I just came back from a week in Florida, was able to eat almost anything I wanted, except salads, they are still...
Today is the 6 week mark and I must say I am really doing well. I know that some people it seems have been having problems with their healing, but I must be one of the lucky ones. Yesterday I was...
The pain doesn't last too long and it doesn't happen all the time. I guess I am one of the lucky ones as some people still seem to have problems even after surgery. I will say that I have not had any...
5 weeks postop today. Have been doing incredibly well. Able to add more foods to my diet but tend to stay on the softer side even though doc said to eat normally, except steak. Today I had my usual...
So I am four weeks postop now and actually doing pretty good. Soft diet going well, adding new foods slowly and so far so good. So why no caffeine or chocolate, and when can you put that back into...
Just had my postop appointment on Friday, 3 weeks postop today. Things seem to be going good. Got the go ahead to start eating, soft diet first then start introducing different foods over the next...
Thanks Sandi!!!...
Thank you all for the suggestions. Today is day 14 and even though my doctor did say to start a soft diet today I stuck to the liquid diet because of chest pain and the lump in my throat again. I...
I was just going by the UPMC diet post Nissan Fundoplication soft diet, so I thought it would be ok. I realize they are suggestions but assumed they know what they are talking about. I really do...
Hi, I had the same question a few weeks back. I had my Nissan done on 04/30, going to Florida and I will be 7 weeks postop and my surgeon said I would be fine. I am 13 days postop and I am actually...
Jesper I think you are right. I forget that I really need learn more portion control. I only ate a small portion at lunch today and I am fine. Smaller meals more often. Need to retrain my brain!! I'm...
I am postop day 13, switching from liquids to soft foods. So far it has only been so-so. I had a problem with what I ate last night (mashed potatoes and broiled fish), terrible chest pain but it...
I am able to burp, and I took Gas-X and it seems to calm things down a bit. I think I will alternate between liquid and soft for a while and see if that doesn't help. It did finally do away, but it...
I just started the soft diet after 12 days on liquid diet. Took it easy, and for dinner had mashed potatoes and broil haddock. Chewed completely, everything seemed fine until 2 hours after I was...
Well 10 days post op and the lump in my throat (which was almost unbearable yesterday), is just about gone this morning. I think I am finally on the other side of this. Still on liquids per doc until...
Thanks for the advice. My breathing is exactly as you are describing which does make sense. I have been doing that type of "stretching" with my breathing and it does help. The diet I can live with. I...
Hey all. I am 1 week post op today. It has been going pretty good over the past week. Liquid diet not so bad, have one more week on that, just wish there was more variety. Can't wait to go to soft...
Thanks Barry, I do feel lucky that I can belch as I know some can't and it does help with the bloated feeling. It just happens so often. I have not been able to eat too much, all purreed food and...
Hi all, 6 days post op LNF and I am belching/burping like there is no tomorrow. Does that eventually quiet down. I seem to have no control over it. I am actually starting to feel pretty good except...
Thanks Denise. I already went through the retching which was from the anethesia. It was pretty bad and doc had to do a barium swallow to make sure the sutures were still in the right place. I gas...
Has surgey yesterday, LNF,did not have a hernia. Had a really rough nigh in the hospital. They couldn't control my nausea after many attemps with differnt drugs. Finally about 4am I was able to fall...
Thank you!!!...
Well the day is just about here, having LNF first thing tomorrow morning. Thought I would be nervous but I am actually ready to get this going. I realize there is a long road ahead of me, but I know...
Thanks for the advice. I have put the question to my surgeon and am awaiting a response. If anything I can spend a lot of time relaxing and recovering by the pool!! I am so glad I have decided to do...
Hi all, so glad to have found a site with some positive information about having the fundoplication. I am scheduled for surgery on April 30th in Boston. Have had GERD for more years then I care to...
