I honestly don't even notice. Without paying someone to cut out most of my stomach, I couldn't stop "shoveling" food into my mouth either. Put yourself in their shoes. They haven't had surgery. We all know how hard it is to control ourselves around food. The only difference between us and them is we have forced Portion Control. And maybe more motivation because of all we've been through. I'm pretty good at only worrying about myself though. Live and let live! Adults are 100% responsible for their own actions.

Most of us didnt love ourselves before the surgery gave us the will to. I thought it would be harder to cook for my family than it is. I made gumbo yesterday and I wasnt even tempted, I ate my stir fry instead. Today we all had blackened catfish (cooked healthfully and low fat), and they ate it along with me. I think in many instances we are all eating healthier, but I still make them some of their faves.

Can I just say as a pre-op person I feel like a hypocrite because I get on here while I'm eating! I did the same thing when I quit smoking... I increased my smoking while I stayed on a quit smoking website. It's like I transition one addiction onto another! I'm taking the advice of another person on this site tho.... I'm about to start dieting pre-op (after my b-day on Tuesday)! Until then I will feel like a hypocrite while I'm eating when I'm surfing on here. As for the OP.... try to change your irritation into sadness for their addiction. I will always be a food addict just like I will always be a smoker- I'll just be a food addict that chooses not to indulge....lol...and that also chooses not to smoke! 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.

        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!
