Did you use regular semolina/white Pasta or did you use a whole wheat or other type of spaghetti? I am not eating much food at all although I have only run into one negative food (avocado). I have managed two turkey meatballs with sauce.

I used just regular spaghetti but i didn't realize i was supposed to be havng whole grain. I probably won't be having much Pasta anyway since my husband and I both can't stand whole wheat pasta!

When I make spaghetti & meatballs (either lean ground beef or turkey meatballs) for my family I try to eat 3 of the meatballs, a good serving of the sauce and just a tiny bite or two of the Pasta. The Pasta fills me up too quickly, and it's really empty carbs without any other significant nutritional value.

I'm not trying to be judgemental, but it's important to remember that just because you CAN eat something doesn't necessarily mean that you should. Stick to your dense Proteins, veggies, and watch the carbs as best you can. Some people have to stay extremely low-carb to continue losing, while I find I don't need to be quite as vigilant about avoiding the carbs - but even if you're not carb-intolerant, most carb-heavy foods will fill up your sleeve without giving you the Protein and other nutrients you need.

      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!
