Day 18 after TIF and I feel I am ready to move on with eating. I have started eating more and feel fine. I am wondering about bread, salad, chips/crackers..... how long should I wait? And did anyone feel well enough and eat these things?

18 days is nothing. Didn't your doctor give you a diet to follow? That's standard for the papers to be handed to the patient on their way home after surgery.

If you have nothing, look up the one from UPMC. Search for UPMC diet after Nissen fundoplication. It's pretty standard.

Complain to your doctor if he didn't give you a diet to follow. You don't want to rush ahead and be choking on food. You are at the point where most of us complain of having a hard time swallowing due to swelling which occurs at this time.

Didn't he also have you come in for a followup visit 2 weeks after surgery?

Yes he did give me a diet. I also have a follow up on a Tuesday. I was just wondering because I feel fine I feel great. Was wondering if anyone had advice on moving forward.

I would say wait for your doctor to say when your diet can change, best not to tale chances.
