I have eaten them a couple of times since surgery. I find them to be pretty gross now, since I have been trying to eat more "natural"/"real" foods since surgery. When I am in a pinch and have no choice but fast food, I usually go to Wendy's. A small chili or a grilled chicken sandwich (minus the bun) seem to be the lesser evil of the fast food choices.

How far out post-op are you?

In an ideal world, none.

But in the real world, in my mind, it's okay to have a treat every once in a while. I've had a fair share. But as a matter of daily practice breaded meat isn't a wise option for a high protein/low carb diet.

After watching a video of what is in chick nuggets....I will never eat one again. Deep fried foods are part of the reason I got overweight. No judgement though. Just sharing. I wish you perfect health! :-)

Within the context of your daily calorie/protein/fat/carb goals, it is fine for you to eat a fast food product like that. You just would not want to make that a staple of your diet. A good substitute for chicken mcnuggets are chic-fil-a's grilled nuggets. No breading, high in Protein, very tasty. Another good snack when having to choose fast food is Fazoli's meatballs. They are a little high in fat, but also high in protein. Don't beat yourself up, just try to stay within your goals and take it one day at a time.

      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!
