@@kranky813 - you are worthless and weak. You don't deserve that sleeve, you are unworththy of it ;-) Geez come on, you are a FUB (fallible human being). You had a moment when you went back to old scripts/tapes/DVR recordings and paid the price. You learned anew there is a new reality. That's what this tool does. Be thankful. It's like bumpers at the bowling alley...you could say its cheating, but gutter balls don't help you get better either.

I agree with having "safe" fast food options as a last resort (I like the grilled chicken wrap sans ranch dressing and tortilla from McD's or a small chili from Wendy's) or emergency food in your desk/purse/glovebox. That helps a lot.

But it's ok to mess up every once in a while. None of us are perfect as much as we may try to be. Try to remember how that burger made you feel, learn from it, forgive yourself and move on.

I keep a Protein bar and almonds in my purse at all times in case of emergencies because eating every 3 hours is a lot of work and planning. I think another good option at McD's if your stuck is now that they have Breakfast all day get the egg Mcmuffin and take one of the bread pieces off. Or even the oatmeal wouldn't be bad. This is a never ending journey. We all make mistakes. Now you have lot's of great tips.

I THINK WE JUST FORGET SOMETIMES. I KNOW I HAVE NEVER LEARNED TO EAT SLOWLY. BUT I MADE ONE MISTAKE WITH PORK TENDERLOIN EARLY ON. I WAS VERY HUNGRY LIKE YOU DESCRIBED, DIDN'T TAKE MY TIME, DIDN'T CHEW LIKE I SHOULD, AND I HONESTLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. ANYWAY, I STILL HAVE TO DO FAST food A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK. BUT I DO NOT EAT THE BUN! I JUST EAT THE meat AND cheese, OR TACO BELL TACO salad WITHOUT THE TORTILLA STRIPS OR RICE, CHILI AT WENDY'S, THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN EAT EVERYWHERE WHEN IN A PINCH. IT HAS NOT AFFECTED MY WEIGHT LOSS AT ALL THAT I CAN TELL. JUST TOSS THE BUN OUT THE WINDOW OR GIVE IT TO YOUR PUP LOL.

      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.

        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!
