Egg timer distraction document !



Recommended Posts

After trying to get a copy of this document from a member & getting no response I'm sad to inform everyone the reason for no response is it appears tomander passed away a few years ago.

I went to the Internet to search for his document thinking he shared it with so many it might be out there. Well I was successful !! So here it is. Thank you Tomander !!!

Egg Timer Distraction

Do you really want a snack? Countdown to less snacking....

Egg Timer Distraction: (make sure your egg timer has a bell on it)Try not to eat a large meal past 7:00 p.m… allow yourself an evening snack but if you really want something try this first…

When you feel hungry after 7:00 p.m. set the egg timer for 10 minutes- When the timer goes off there is a chance you may have forgotten you were hungry- After the egg timer goes off the first time and if you’re still hungry... drink an 8 to 10 ounce glass of Water... then set the egg timer again for 10 minutes-

If the egg timer goes off the second time and you still want a snack... drink another 8 to 10 ounces of water... set the timer again for 10 minutes-

If on the third time your still hungry have a snack but make it a healthy snack...

I eat a lot of cold turkey... I keep in cut up in the fridge and have it as an evening snack

I also eat a lot of cut up veggies now...

I was never a veggie eater before really but now enjoy them with a homemade dip

The egg timer method really worked for me...

Give it a try… you never know it may just work for you.

      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!
