He did not fix your hernia slim? I am writing this in bed Slim and have my large container of ice Water. I can take fairly normal sips now. I hate tuna fish, but if I could , I bet I would eat some. 4-6 wks for the swelling to go down wow. PEvette. when are those meetings and how many people go? Do they have a speaker.

They are located on the same floor they take you after surgery, I forgot, I think 5th floor...the nurses didnt come by to talk to you about them....both instructors visited me while I was there to talk to me about things to do when I got home, what to ask him, and wanted my email to send me a reminder about the meetings....they are fairly good number turn out....every month there's a topic this month was emotional eating, but I missed it....it was raining cats and dogs on that day and refuse to drive in the rain unless I have to...

Well, really the fat & calories don't seem too bad(not remotely close to good either), but the sodium is through the roof. Remember this is for 1 dog with no Condiments. Start adding stuff & it only gets worse.

The trick is moderation. Later on if you decide to have a pickle or a hot dog, or God forbid both on occasion it's not going to send you spiraling out of control.

Thanks O. T. R. we have to be reasonable here. I for one will have a little more sodium and other not so good for you things on occasion. Moderation is definitely the trick, says an only dreaming gal on full liquids for a few more days. :)

I second the tofu dogs! They taste great, usually have more Protein than normal hot dogs and have like 1/4 of the calories :)

Morningstar Farms just began production again on their veggie dogs. Still on liquids, so no dog for me yet, but my spouse is a vegetarian and loves them!

I second that trader joes hot dogs. I also know you can get good healthy HD at health foods stores or co-ops but they are expensive and go bad fast so best to keep them frozen until use.

I definitely wouldn't recommend eating a regular hot dog. I ate a Nathan's hot dog about a month ago (no bun) & it was too greasy and made me feel lousy. I used to eat 2 or 3 of them with fries no problem but that was the old me. Not going back!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
