Eating in new situations post op



Recommended Posts

Yesterday the husband and I went on day trip to a lake community and I really did not sweat the eating thing. For lunch I had Turkey Chef salad, no problems finding something healthy on any menu. Well then he decides he wants to go on a lake cruise, of course then only left a time we could make was a ice cream social trip. I contemplated the whole thing for a bit and decided what the hell instead of saying no entirely I took the ice cream sunday. I am proud to say I had about 8 bites and just pushed it away! I was full enough from my good lunch and had no desire what so ever in devouring ice cream like I would have in the past.

Then hours later the husband wanted to go to dinner and I do not if it was the ice cream or the hot day or what but I was not hungry at all. I played along and went with him for the atmosphere ( JImmy Buffett place) and he ordered the WOST possible choices, nachos and friend mushrooms. So i ended up eating 2 small mushrooms and 3 chips that had some beef on them.

I just decided to not beat myself off over the bad stuff, every one needs to be bad once in a while,,, it has been over a year for me since I ate anything "bad" and the scale this morning was just fine!

Now will I continue to such "bad" things,,, not at all, it will have to be a circumstance like yesterday,,, my point is you can still be bad here and there and not undo your diet!

      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.

        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.
