Veggies. I hate them. Except for the fattening delicious ones ( corn, avocados, Beans, potatoe)

How much/many/ often do you eat veggies or do/can you skip them & just have vitiamins or shakes?

Not sleeved but considering it.

I like to run (5ks) and would like to run 1/2 marathons. I'm afraid that if the pouch is too small then I wont be able to consume/drink enough to sustain energy & glucose levels.

I would like to avoid flabby skin and hair loss. I see people dropping 10 lbs a week. Thats way too much for me do you know if there is a way to slow that down.

I like veggies and salads (all the good ones like kale, brussels sprouts, spinach) when were you able to start eating them again.

what is an average size meal look like - say oz of fish, oz of salad, oz of veggies

Do you eat frozen yogurt? toppings? sugar sensitivity? ,

have you experienced acid reflux - if yes, under what conditions

I drink wine, tequila, etc very occasionally - how many oz could you drink before you "felt" a little buzz.

I like Water a lot! do you have to drink through a straw and if so why?

what is sliming?

when did you feel ready to go back to exercise? work?

If I had the procedure - i would be 5 days there. How much time would I want off in addition to that before I start getting back to normal?

Did you have a lot of pain?

Lol! What she said!!!!

I'm really just interested in knowing if you're satisfied with the way you eat now. I broke down yesterday at he thought of never again eatin that rate giant bowl of spaghetti. I love it! And 4 oz of spaghetti is nothing. Do you get to eat somewhat normal again????? Enough to not be upset when you just HAVE to stop??? Do you want to stop? Like do you get a fullness where you are ok not eating another bite? Or do you want to, but just can't?

I do NOT intend to fail at this. But I also don't want to fight with food forever and constantly never be satisfied. Please she'd light on this for me and I will love you forever.

Is it true at a year out your stomach begins getting aggravated and starts bullying your other organs until they finely give in and vote the stomach as ruler of the universe, dethroning the brain?! Cause I heard if they don't vote your tummy in they get smacked around and sometimes organs decide to leave the body and find shelters in Chicago. . . It happened to a friend of a friends cousin from Detroit.

      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.

        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!
