iphone, my fitness [al, Fitbit and a food scale. Measuring, weighing and tracking have been critical to my success! Being able to do this on a phone in my pocket makes it easy!

Several things stand out.

1. My spiralizer (makes veggies into noodles)

2. My many Water bottles

3. YouTube (for the many food ideas)

4. My measuring cups and scale

5. I wish I had an amazing blender. Bullets and regular blenders are not powerful enough to make a good smoothie

6. My measuring tape (for depressing days when I think I have not lost anything, my tape always tells me otherwise)

7. My food processor (allows me to use whole vegetables and fruits to make my own sauces I.e Kale pesto)

8. Did I mention my awesome spiralizer lol

9. My mandoline (for slicing veggies)

10. My spray container for oil. I am very oil sensitive and the sprayer makes it easy to only use a little bit (like a Pam spray but I add my own oil to the container, pump and spray)

And that spiralizer..... haha I am being so silly tonight LOL (I just got it recently and it is my culinary staple!)

Bella cucina blender and Lap Band talk. I really benefited from reading post of Carolina Girl,Missy, B52, Joanne, Jim, 2muchfun, without this forum, I would have been very isolated. While the doc was my final answer, you all have helped more than you know. Many Thanks!

      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.

        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!
