What rule(s) do you let yourself break?



Recommended Posts

Well, to be honest, there isn't a rule I haven't broken bc the surgery was done on my stomach not my brain. That being said, I'm REALLY trying to control my mistakes. I'm not perfect and I don't beat myself up anymore. I just improve my habits daily.

Yesterday I ate

Weight watchers Protein chicken Pasta for Breakfast

an Asian salad w/chicken for lunch

Fig newton and a Krispy Kreme donut for snack (please don't judge me. I had a weak moment and I know it).

Piece of pita bread with caramelized onions for dinner

I don't drink enough Water (I'm working on that) but I drink 2 cups of coffee a day.

I am 4 months out. I have been drinking with a straw since about 4 weeks, I won't get my Fluid without using a straw.

I frequently drink right up until I eat. I will have a small sip or two during a meal if I need to due to dryness or spicyness.

The other day I was way behind on both Protein and Fluid. I ate a ham/provolone roll up and drank right away. I figured getting in the Protein and fluid was more important.

I did have most of a pralines and cream ice cream in a pretzel cone while on vacation in mid-May. I ate most of it.

I will have 2 bites of hubby's ice cream about every 2 weeks. I will steal a french fry or a 1/4 of a mozzarella stick from his plate.

If we go out I will get an unsweetened iced tea and have them Water it down. It is frequently the only no carb non carbonated drink and I don't like plain Water even if they add lemon. I figure the amount of caffeine in a 1/4 of a watered down iced tea is pretty negligible.

      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!
