Why do I have trouble eat good food and get stuck even if I chew like a crazy fool, yet stuff like junk food are still easy to eat! I guess it's another one of those mysteries life gives us.... or is it? what is it??? Help. All this holiday celebration and days off work are messing me up. scale is creeping up! :"(

Take your Protein Shakes at Breakfast amd lunch. Then eat Protein first for dinner, then coast the rest of the way.

I only used Protein shakes the first two weeks after surgery... never really liked the taste of them... my doctor said it was better for my metabolism to eat solid Protein.< /p>

I make sure I eat my protein first and take tiny bites the size of my finger nail and I make sure i finish what I have in my mouth before I take my second or third bite.

Try taking smaller bites... hang in there.

I do not use Protein Shakes as well. I take very small bites maybe the size of two peas, put the fork down until its down and I know it's not stuck. When everything is getting stuck its more likely you are eating too big of a piece or too fast.

Take teeeency bites

I know it's tough but try your best to just concentrate on chewing. This is hard in the begining because were not used to it, but it gets easier over time

Btw, how often do you get stuck? A few times a day? a few times a week?

      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!
