Water bottle with a small opening so I can take small sips of Water

small bowls for meals

small spoon and fork - so I remember to eat slow.

another good reminder - I only eat at the dinner table. No more eating at the coffee table or at my desk (or in my car when driving).

My food scale

I also have to use to straws to drink or it's not happening.

My couch - I'm a full time teleworker from home and sitting in a regular chair at the desk doesn't work. The couch with my laptop is much more comfortable.

My Water bottle that I now take around everywhere.

My Fitbit and My Fitness Pal apps along with my weight loss tracker app. They give me a nice visual tracking system and keeps me honest with myself. 2 years later I still use them daily.

Straws- because at almost 2 years post-op I still don't like drinking without a straw

MyFitnessPal- keeps me accountable

Scales- I use two of them every morning- it's a constant reminder that it is very easy to get fat again

BariatricPal- I usually check in here about once a day while I'm at my desk working

Plastic Baggies, Small Dishes- Instead of eating anything right from the container, I always portion things out in bags or little tupperware dishes

I agree on all the Water bottles, but this app is truly a daily help! So many answers and all different questions. At this point it seems like I kinda know my cyber friends ...

We have a lot in common

Happy fourth????????

      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!
