Marci Surgery Recovery

Topeka, KS

Story

I recently had surgery to repair a hiatel hernia and a partial fundiplocation due to erosive acid reflux. This surgery has left me in quite a bit of pain. I have a strict diet that I have to follow over the next 4-6 weeks. Unfortunately that diet does not include the foods that my husband Phil and grandson JJ like to eat. Meals that they enjoy include spaghetti, Mexican albondigas and vegetable soup, Chicken and vegetable soup, Mexican Chili Colorado or Chili Verde with beans and rice, Beef and bean burritos, Burrito bowls with steak or chicken rice and beans. Honestly they would probably eat anything. I wouldn't be asking for help but I'm not in a position to be on my feet for very long to cook food at this time.


Special Notes

My diet includes clear liquids for the next week. Next week I can start eating thickened liquids. The following week I'll be allowed to eat/drink creamed soups and puddings. The 4th week I'll be allowed to eat mechanical soft foods.
