I totally understand and to me, you are still really new out. :) It was so scary to me to start adding in new foods because I was afraid of "failing". Until you do it and see that you won't wake up back at your highest weight tomorrow, it's kind of terrifying.

High Protein, low carb, regular fat. Healthy fats, though, not french fries and potato chips.

Real foods. Real fat. If it has more chemicals than things you recognize, don't eat it. You will be amazed at how much better things taste. I do SF where I can and light milk because I prefer it, but real eggs, real cheese, real dressing.

My hair looks better, my skin looks better, I feel better. I am eating like a healthy person, not a dieting person. It's so freeing.

I totally agree with you. Real is better and fullfilling. Thanks for pointing this out for everyone :)

Lipstick Lady thank you so much for sharing your experience. I m French n while I understand little or no French bread, Pasta n rice low-fat cheese n even worse to me is cottage cheese which I have always thot looks like baby puke! I have become a gastric forum junkie! I want to read everyone's experience, fears, triumphs. I knew duh I was fluffy but when I saw a photo from the side! Holy crap. Then I did bmi n found out I was morbidly obese. Hello...first part is morbid! I was freaked into thinking I was going to die if I don't do something soon. Been yo yo dieting for over 40 yrs n my family has all passed n want to be around for my 13 yr old. I will b damned if I die early if I cud have helped it n let his dad raise him. I went to back to school nite n was so wiped out from just doing my son's schedule. My fiance who has no cartilage in his knees even walked faster. Hopefully next year I will zip thru the halls!

      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!
