Snacking



Recommended Posts

Hey when you guys have a snack between meals like a Protein Bar or something. Do you wait the half hour then eat the snack and wait a half hour?

Yep, I do. But it's only a snack in the am and one in the pm.

If I waited 30 mins either side of my old style snacking, I be one dehydrated mofo!

Just say no...unless you aren't getting in enough nutrition/protein. Me, I put on weight "snacking". Hence I steal Mrs. Reagan's words...Just say no.

Was that when big Ron would give her a nod and a wink?

I eat 6 times a day as directed and told not to graze.

Foe me, grazing is mindless eating. My meals are planned.

Me too Deano :) I try to have six meals per day - in this heat though, I am lucky to get two in...but in theory, I'm supposed to have six small meals a day (as directed by my surgeon).

LOL yep :) I haven't weighed this week though - was going to this afternoon but spent it in ED/ XRAY getting my nephew's foot fixed after what he tells me was an "awesome" leap off the picnic table at summer camp. Apparently the landing wasn't quite as awesome :) So I am hoping it's a little close to 110 :)

      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!
