Oh was thar last bite was a mistake.



Recommended Posts

My surgery was 2-25-14 and I'm slowly getting back to "normal" my food choices have increased along with my activity and I'm back at work so am on more of a schedule then I was while recovering, which has been a struggle.

I can't "snack" at work and have to go sometimes 4 or more hours without food, I wasn't one of the lucky people with no appetite after surgery so by the time I can eat my tiny tummy is roaring as loudly as it can (still much less then before). I've managed to curb the speed eating I used to do but I keep eating too much! (The whole 2 oz instead the 1.5 oz my tiny tummy would be comfortable with) I've always been a "clean plater" and that too I'm working on overcoming.

Anyone else been having similar struggles? I would love any advice, tricks, suggestions you wonderful sleevers could send my way. I'm working hard to better listen to my body, which I know is the most important thing I can do.

I struggle with this, too! I measure everything out and try to put a little less. I am trying to stop before I'm full - just when the edge is gone.

Miss Tummy has taught me to eat slowly and wait for the tupperware burp. That's my clue to put my plate away. Typically, if I measure out the 1/3 cup and two tablespoons that I was told is my capacity, the burp leaves me one last bite to throw away. If I take a chance and eat anything after the burp, I am freakin miserable for four to five hours afterwards.

      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.

      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!
