All right, So I'm 5 weeks out from surgery...I feel GREAT, I'm down 30 pounds, my eating has been good and healthy...but I'm struggling with my morning schedule to have enough time to get some food in me...What do you guys grab "on the go" to eat?

Sometimes I skip Breakfast if I am not hungry - When I am on the go I will whip up a choc Protein Shake with half of a small banana or a yogurt adn half a banana (you can eat these if you are in aa rush since they are :sliders: and you have less of a chance of sliming and/or vomit :D

I don't even try to eat anything until lunch time. Its a VERY common problem.

My normal breakfast is 6 ounces of greek yogurt and 1/4 cup of Kashi mixed in. If I'm in a super rush I do a Protein Shake.< /p>

Not really. I know a lot of bandsters (myself included) that can't eat bananas.

I make my Protein Shakes for the next day the day before, so then I just pour some out at breakfast time and I'm good to go! :D

I do a Protein Shake and at the last swallow add 1 tsp of chia seeds. Keeps me satisfied until lunch.< /p>

I keep hearing about chia seeds, and I saw them in the store and pondered getting some... so they're really as great as I keep hearing? I think I want to get some.

Lately, I have been doing Protein Shakes because I was having trouble getting all of my Protein in but I used to do either greek yogurt or oatmeal...I would just throw it in my lunch bag and eat it at my desk when I got to work. Hard boiled eggs also work well...if you peel them right after you make them and store them in a ziploc then all you have to do is grab and go...

I usually eat sliced turkey from the deli. Usually 4oz of turkey fills me up. Sometimes I add a slice of cheese to eat with it. I just munch on it in the car on my way to work. (I know you are supposed to sit at a table, concentrate and eat, but I just cant do that)

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
