Hi..it is not true that you can never do these things again. I have seen ppl get back fat. Your tummy can "re-stretch"...now my friend is 5yrs out. She can eat that stuff, but she eats it in moderation. She can eat a piece,but she will dump if she eats two.A fizzy drink might not feel good.

Some days I drink shakes and some I don't. It really depends on my activity level for the day. You do not just have to drink shakes to get in your Protein. Try using double pasteurized egg whites. You can add them to any drink and you do not taste it. It turns a drink with 0 protein in to one with protein. I still struggle with chicken and turkey as well. I find I eat a lot of fish and meat as my protein sources.

I heard this in my group meeting pre-op from a post-op person. 1. your taste buds change. 2. fizzy drinks you can't do. yes my taste buds changed and now some of the foods that i used to love turn my stomach. so who knows you might not want to eat that piece of chocolate cake. but I can drink a small amount of a decaf-fizzy drink but not often.

I'm three weeks out and went cold turkey off diet pepsi...I really don't miss it that much and I had a serious addiction. I just get sick of fruity flavors all the time...I switch to iced tea when it gets to be too sweet. I'm not a chocolate lover thank God so I don't miss that.

Man I feel you...I had an eight diet pepsin a day habit...I cut out one every two days pre surgery and am now drinkiing Vitamin Water and diet v8 splash...ice tea etc...it's a small price to pay....I'm down thirty six lbs in four weeks from my HW of 297. I can live without my diet pepsin.certainly not worth stretching the pouch or getting sick. It's hard though. You can do it!

      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.
