I want you to be encouraged that you absolutely CAN do this!

I got out of the hospital on 12/22/15 and on 12/25/15 I was cooking Christmas dinner for my family. This included broccoli casserole, maple bacon brussle sprouts, and fried turkey. There was a pan of my mother's amazing cornbread dressing tempting me on the counter. I couldn't eat any of it. But I still had to feed my husband and daughter! It was hard and I did cry once, but I got through it!

Later on in that week, I helped my daughter prepare, bake, and package up like 5 lbs of candied pecans for gifts. I didn't eat one of them! This was a bit easier because I had already worked through the Christmas experience.

For the next challenge, I cooked homemade brocolli cheese Soup for the family. It was absolutely delicious...so I heard. I did dip my spoon in and use my finger to taste a drop. I thought it was fantastic. But I couldn't eat any of it! So be it!

I haven't cooked for the family since the brocolli cheese challenge. There's plenty of left overs, so they are on their own for now. But this won't last forever. Next week I will probably be baking porkchops, steaming vegetables, and baking corn bread. I will puree a lean porkchop for myself along with a soft vegetable and we'll be done.

If I can do it, you can do it! I'm just as addicted to food as anyone else here!!!

      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.

      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!
