Don't chuck him out just yet. If he is a gourmet chef he could come in handy when solid foods are back on the menu.

I used to laugh at those pitiful portions on the food network chef competition shows. They look about right now. :D

Newbie, I'm sorry you're going through all of this. It is bad enough that the first week to 4 weeks are tough that you have to make these new adjustments to eating but, to have a passive aggressive chef on board who is not supporting you, you should kick 'em to the curb. I haven't had my surgery yet but, reading these forums are very helpful to me to know what to expect before my first appointment to the Nutritionist, psychologist, and Dr. Appointments. Stick with this forum and reach out as often as you can. Use your other resources such as your doctor and nutritionist, etc... Good luck to you and remember why you did the surgery and what you know the end result will be... Don't give up!!!

I def do not regret having had the surgery. It is very hard right now but not as hard as chemo, dialysis or immobility, all of which are on the alternative list. This lifestyle change was not his choice. Its being forced upon him and he will make his own decision in the end. Probably from the bottom of the sleigh riding hill when im at the top. I love him and hope he makes the climb.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
