Too Big Or Too Small



Recommended Posts

I am at 5.25 cc

Why is it with the band you can eat the smallest piece of white chicken and get stuck but you can eat the largest bite of chocolate and it goes down?

I am struggling so bad with eating whole foods! I cant eat white chicken, salad, or red meat. I am afraid to take Fluid out because right now if i eat tuna salad or chkn salad i can eat a cup at time if i gave up bread 6 months before my surgery along with rice. i only eat no yolk Pasta 1 time month maybe ad can eat cup or 2 of that! I dont want to make my port bigger but how do i eat the healthy stuff? and I CANT LOSE WEIGHT!

I was told at Thanksgiving that I could have a few pieces of turkey, so I ate the dark meat. I have come to realize, that dark meat pulverizes easier in your mouth. Try that, you may also be able to eat the chicken and tuna salad b/c it is "wet" from low fat mayo. I Googled slider food and read that when something has low fat mayo or dressing it slides through better. Good luck with trying new foods!

Everyone is different, but I have 5.5 ccs and have had no problems with chicken breast (I haven't tried steak yet). I try to keep it very moist when cooking it. I'll usually bake it with the addtion of chicken broth and lemon. I cut it real small and dip it in something. Salsa or some FF dressing. I bought my husband some pork chops this week. I'm not sure yet if I will try them.

Chocolates going to go down easy whatever amount of fill you have. It's a slider food. So.woth that you just have to use good old fashioned will power!

      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!
