A friend of mine also gave me this recipe idea if you like Mexican food.

Mix a 1/2 cup of fat free refried Beans with a lilttle taco seasoning. Then put it in a small container. Sprinkle a little fat free cheese on top. When you are ready to eat, pop it in the microwave to melt the cheese on top. Delicious!! And if you are a sour cream eater you could put a little dollop of that on it too.

This is great for something quick you can pack to take with you to work too.

Totally normal. When you switch from liquids to real food the weight lose slows down. I actually gained 5 pounds that week.

Yes, I have for the most oart, Ive had egg salad, chicken salad (pureed chicken), maryland crab Soup liquified, and turkey wings and green Beans (blended), All so tasty with no starches. I used low fat mayo for the sides, and I used a little creamy ceaser dressing (1 gram of carb) for the chicken salad. It all taste so good so I dont feel like im missing out, except when I heat up spagetti or gave my kids some pizza, that just seem to call me, so I will be trying your recipe to curb those cravings for italian food.

it seemed like I gained 2 but it keeps coming and going. Honestly, it scared me into thinking this band wouldnt work, like my body has hit a plateau and is accustomed to where I am (only 17 pounds lighter) so is this where the 1-2 pound per week weight loss starts?

      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.

        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!
