First taste of solid food



Recommended Posts

I had my first solid food today, some moist chicken breast. I was in heaven! I have already figured out I may never have warm dinners again! lol It takes so long to chew each bite, after just a couple of bites your dinner is cold. I will trade that weight loss for the cold dinner any day though.

You made it back to real food!! Congratulations on sticking with your post-op slushies and mushies. It's hell, but your band will thank you for it! Way to go Betty!!

Congratulations, Betty! Isn't solid food great? I think the only people who truly appreciate it are bandsters just coming off mushies and seniors fitted with new dentures.

Wow, Betty, felt like you just got rescued off a deserted island, didn't you? LOL Yea, the cold food reminds me of when the kids were little. Everyone else is done eating when you're just getting started. 35 pounds! Way to go!!:cheeky

Hello Betty~ Congrats on your weight loss! Keep up the good work! :banana When I started to eat solid food mine was cold too so what I did was bought some baby plates at Toy's R US and because they are made of thin plastic I set them on a small heating plate and it keeps my food warm as I take a half hour to eat it! The plates come in a set and are in solid colors so they don't look childish and there are 2 regular plates, 2 plates with separated compartments and 2 lids.

Yee Haw Betty! I still remember adding REAL food back into my diet... it was heaven... warm or cold! I enjoy food much more than I ever did before... because I actually chew and taste it!

      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!
