Hi: This is a great topic. Although the problem can be "difficult", the laugh lines are super. I get a good laugh everytime I check into this topic. Doddie

Just letting you know that I picked up the Benefibre. <grin> Thanks all who suggested it.

Also, I broke down and finally bought the Magic Bullet blender which I am loving! It makes fantastic Protein and Fruit drinks. This thing is great. I have a full-sized blender but it's a pain to use and clean. I started to use the Magic Bullet in the mornings with AllMax Unflavoured Protein (bought it at Nutrition House in TD Center) with some Nesquick chocolate flavouring and some fruit, and it takes great. I picked up some bananas tonight and can't wait to try that out tomorrow with some chocolate Syrup and the skim milk.

That's another great tip and wish I had bought the Bullet earlier for the pureed stage. Oh, well, live and learn.

Hi Bejeweled. I'm glad you like your bullet. I have a regular hand one by Braun and I love it too. Great if you're in a hurry in the am. Liquid Protein. Don't worry about not seeing too much in the way of weight loss. It will happen as soon as you start getting your fills.

Thanks, Donna. I'm trying to keep that in mind. I get the first fill on Monday so we'll see how everything goes after that.

DONNA D:

Now that you have had some fills, how much are you able to eat at a meal???

I am trying to watch my portions right now.. I am using the 'cup' from the tea & Saucer set in my everyday dishes... holds about 1/2 cup to 5 oz. (liq measure)..

So I am pureeing my food, had 2 meatballs, 1/2 scalloped potoates, 1/2 broccoli...

Does that sound about right?? for amounts right now?

Nail polish remover failed for me as well. Then my sis (an actor) introduced me to a product that removes glues used for stage make-up. It worked wonders on removing the tape marks without irritating the skin. I think it's available in most large Shoppers (ask for "eye lash remover").

      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!
