Ugh...yesterday was a really hard day for me. I used to eat when i was bored and yesterday would've been one of those days. We stayed home, not much to do...commercials on continuously for food and found myself "missing" all old junky food i used to eat. It was depressing! I know it takes time to get over my old relationship with food and I am doing that...i guess it's hard cause i'm on my 4th week of pureeds. I see the doctor on Thursday this week and am anticipating being bumped up to soft foods...hopefully that opens up a door for some different foods i can eat! Anyone else have these feelings?

commercials are the worse. Couple of them have made me want to reach through the TV. like Steak and shake, a burger never looked so good. Normally I am not hungry at all. I think it is like you said just bored and a bit of wanting what you can't have.

Mami is right. This feeling does pass. Once you are done mourning the loss of food in your life it gets better. Just like those that get upset when their family eats in front of them. We all need to remember this is truly a loss of something that has comforted us for years... never sassed back and just was always there for us. Remember we chose to have this surgery to take back control of our lives. Find your joy in things other then food. You can do this.

      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.
