Lunch With a Friend



Recommended Posts

:o So I call up a friend from work and we agree to meet at a diner for lunch-it's around 1pm and all I have had so far was yogurt in the morning. I am hungry-I really want to eat and I feel as though I could eat (unlike mornings).

Anyway this friend knows I have the band...I order a garden veggie egg beater omellet, fruit cup (instead of home fires) and no toast. Well, I could barely get 4 bites down. I had to ask for a to-go box and I ate 2-3 small pieces of fruit. I guess that wasn't a good choice for me. I am thinking eggs over light might go down better-geeze!

Tonight we are going out for my daughter's birthday-I was going to do Hibachi -but no way can I do that and not stand out. Only thing I can eat is seafood and at night I can mange more.

It may have been the veggies in the omelet. The first time I went out for Breakfast after my surgery the green peppers about killed me.

BTW, 32 pounds already!! You go, Girl! I knew you were gonna rock your band!

It can be just because too. I sometimes find that I thought I was hungry and ready to eat and all I manage is 2 bites and I just know that its going to be ugly if I push it. I'm particularly like that after exercise, but its just random. If it resolves itself and you can eat next meal dont worry about it - sooner or later you'll cautiously try the same foods again and may find that there's no problem. I actually also find that's more likely to happen if I've let myself get really hungry.

I can't do scrambled eggs or omelets anymore. I have to have my eggs over medium. That started with my 2nd fill. I have heard of several people having the same issue.

Neither can I! I just can not get a scrambled egg/omelet to go down. I find that weird but I can't.

      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.

      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!
