I feel like my lifelong reality has been brought to the forums, where I say something dumb like, "how many Beans should I put in my mouth?" and all the attention has gone to the skinnier, prettier girl in the room. <_<

I use the small white ramikens from surlatable, for measureing, I packed in Beans till about half full, used a mozzarella cheese stick, 2 tablespoons salsa, put in microwave, could eat 1/2, so save other half for lunch or dinner next day, without messing more dishes. I swear the hobbits took over my house, there is small dishes and spoons everywhere LOL

KatiKati, Dean is right on the pureed chili too - saved me - could eat very little and be fully satiated! Made it myself to control the spiciness. Threw it in the crockpot overnight and had meals for a few weeks!

:( I'm sorry! I am NOT prettier than you! And I may be a bit smaller because I had my surgery before you! You will be there soon! I promise!

Pictures are all smoke and mirrors anyways

Sorry :(

Oh and call me a weirdo but I also blended meatloaf and gravy! Yummy 1/4 cup again.

I had to have meat at that point I was starving!

It wasn't saying something dumb at all. I think the question is the root of what we have to get our heads around - and it's hard! We're not on diets anymore, and it's hard work getting our heads around that and how to 'eat normally'.

I'm sorry you feel that way because I really did try and give a considered answer :(

And in any case I'm the skinniest, best looking person in the room ;)

Ha Ha. That's funny, because whenever I'm around the girls are always preoccupied with trying to gain the attention of my gay friends.

It is pretty cool to eat one and be stuffed (and not 10!!)

It really is!!!

I really like homemade tacos now ( I'm ten months)

You can add the meat and Beans with salad toppings on top. It's a meal.

And yes one fills you up and it's very satisfying.

I could eat one everyday.

My family says awe mom not tacos again lol

      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!
