At least 6-8, this made a big difference for me! You aren't getting a balanced diet. I don't like to do Soups for supper, they don't seem to stick with me for long. Get in a piece of meat and some vegetables! I'm going to really stress the Water thing! I use crystal light packets, otherwise I don't like to drink water at all! Water is so essential for your skin also. I don't have any excess skin hanging and I attribute that not only to exercise but to keeping my skin hydrated! it's amazing what water does for your body!

Take your current weight and divide it in half and that is the amount of Water in oz that you should drink in a day. If you don't drink enough, your body will conserve water and retain it.

tuna and cheese Snacks are portable. I don't eat until I get to work either. And I am also up at 5am or earlier. Also, what about pre cooking a package of turkey bacon or some turkey or chicken sausage? You can grab and go and even eat in the car if needed. Sounds like you are definitely short on calories and Water. But it also sounds like you're on a mission to work on it. If you're willing to do that you can make it happen! Wishing you lots of luck!

Be careful eating in a car. I learned the hard way. Keep plastic bags paper towels and pineapple juice in case you have to pull over

You said it! I keep wet wipes in there. I'm totally spill prone. I only eat in the car when I absolutely have no other option, otherwise I wait until I am at work and can eat on a level surface! :-)

Eating on a motorcycle would certainly be interesting! Nope you don't have to have meat just Protein and watch your carb intake. When I think protein I automatically think meat because I'm such a carnivore and I was trying to think of something you can grab and go. :-)

      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.

        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!
