Thank you, Chad!

Good information and I need to really focus on staying on track. It worries me how easily I can eat now compared to barely able to eat. It is now up to me!

Putting this on my fridge too. I'm finding that having pre-portioned servings of good stuff keeps me from reaching for the bad stuff.

Not having good Stuff in the house is dangerous for me. I have been packing Snacks with me for work just in case I adverted some famous donuts, too. My coworker scarfed one down in 28 seconds flat.

Do the best you can. I remember back when i used to have donuts i used to eat an old fashion in 10 seconds. I would be satisfied only after 3 or 4. I had this inner carb beast that would surface and devour huge quanties after having 1 of something. I am super glad that this beast has been tamed after the surgery. He may still be there, but now I don't have the urge to have even 1 of anything sweet.

I also remember eating a whole box of donut holes between the store and home on commute home ( about 15 minutes). LI was baaaddd.... Thankfully, I am a new person now that no longer has these food issues.

Chad, my first 2 months post op I didn't leave the house without some healthy snacks in my possession. Or I would put Protein Powder in my shaker bottle so all I had to do was pull over and buy some Water. I just didn't know when those cravings were gonna hit me or how I'd react. Now it's much easier. If I get hungry and I'm out and about I can always pull over and buy a grilled chicken sandwich from anywhere. I eat the chicken and throw the bread away.

If I'm going out for any length of time, I always pack a bottle of Muscle Milk Lite in a cooler bag...along with a couple 20oz bottles of Water. On days when I have class, I pack lunch with me, because my class ends right at noon, and its a long drive home...I eat before heading home, to make sure I don't "crash" on the way (literally and figuratively!). Eating out is no problem...I order lean Protein, and some non-starchy veggies, and take home lots of left-overs! Thanks for the list, Chad...it includes all the guidelines I received from my surgeon! :)

      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!
