Learn how to selectively "screen out" the stimulus...or remove yourself from the area where you are able to see or smell foods.

In order to survive raising 3 sons, rather close in age, I had to learn how to ignore(screen out) the noise and activities of what would often amount to 3 different groups of friends in the house at the same time engaged in different activities which all had some type of sound/noise associated with them...

My long term sanity depended on being able to selectively screen out most of the sound.

I can so relate to your writing about smelling food...I learned how to ignore cooking odors, and ignore my husband eating in the same room with me as I drank my Protein shake or ate a SF popsicle, but I could not ignore his empty plate which still smelled wonderful from his dinner. He left it next to me for me to clean...and it was the only time during the entire pre and post op diets that I "lost it" and got angry with him.

Know that there is an end to this challenging time in your life...and keep your eyes focused on the prize of a healthier you!

Best wishes...

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
