Of course I'm not trying to mess it up. That's why I haven't pushed myself to the point to feel anything bad. I don't want to.

no mam' i know you arent trying to mess u.never want u to think i meant that

...you are doing so great. just let your insides heal...i am concerned.

if in doubt about what to eat, just ring the dr and make sure. just go slow.

you will hear from people who may say its ok, but that them, this is you :)

The reason you do not feel hungry or thirsty is because your stomach is still swollen from the surgery. I somedays I have a hard time with tuna and I have been banded for 7 months (band being tight somedays). My advice is 1 call your doctor and tell him your concerns and 2 eat only 1 cup per meal' date=' slowly, and drink slowly. The eating habit is a learning process. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Take care & good luck.[/quote']

Thank you. Thank you that's what I've been doing. I have broth seperated in baby bowls ready in fridge. I even drink out of a baby cup. Has a straw though. Lol not the big 32oz like before.

if you are hungry' date=' that is normal. those Protein shakes were my food until my insides healed

the more i healed, the hunger came back

as ajtex said, just because we can eat/drink more than we should, doesnt mean we should[/quote']

I haven't tried the shakes. The Protein Drink I drink is called Isopure. It's kinda like a gatorade base. Instead of milk base. What about working out. When did yall feel up to moving about.

No. No no straws, you'll blow your band off.

Please stick to your Drs orders.

Is the tuna& egg salad in baby bowls too?

What do you put in your tuna salad? I mix mine with egg salad so its tuna egg salad. I love it that way.

The hardest part of all this is understanding the signals or lack of signals..... at this point you won't feel hungry. It took me a while to figure out the new signals. Sounds like you are doing it right, your just not getting the response from your body that you are use to.....completely normal. As each day goes by your body will heal and you will learn the new signals. Keep doing what you are doing.

Oh. I'll stop with the straw. The tuna was from subway. Two scoops in a bowl. I had the add a little more mayo to make it more wet. I didn't eat it all at on sitting. The egg salad I bought from publix. I'm suprised at how fine the egg was chopped. It was like a rice pudding.

      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!
