Been a little depressed cuz I'm having a hard time eating. Everything Sits. So what did I do? Since before my surgery way back in my freezer was little tiny single serve cup of Ben& Jerrys choc fudge Brownie ice cream so I thought, I wanna try it. What a colossal mistake! Too much sugar and its sitting below my esophagus. It was not but 5 spoons full but after 2 I chucked it. Man what a shock to the system. I repent!

Sometimes you just have to push the envelope. Now it is out of your system.

It is good you repented and I hope you are not feeling too miserable. It is amazing to me what very little it takes to fill me and I am only a week out. I just started with runny cream of wheat, yogurt, Soup today and could hardly do anything compared to what I was thinking. That is okay. Learning is going to be a forever journey I have a feeling, but one I am glad to undertake. Thanks for sharing your lesson with us.

Those are the lessons we learn the hard way! I find myself doing stupid stuff and end up throwing it away. So now I love throwing bad foods in the trash.....It was such a hard lesson to learn, I was taught to always finish what I put on my plate and my eyes have always been bigger than my stomach.... LOL Still the same today. Am going back to measuring my foods when eating.... :)

Funny, my eyes are also bigger than my stomach! I love that. I measure everything, and I'm still pleasantly surprised at the small volume I can eat. At first I could eat almost nothing, but now can handle 3-4 oz Protein, so it seems like lots more than it was, but it's way less than it used to be.

OP - you are no dummy! You are smarter than you were before, right? :)

      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.

        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.

      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!
