A dilemma I created last night



Recommended Posts

9 days post-op

So, we had tickets to the theater last night. We had to do so many errands yesterday that before I knew it, it was time to leave. When we got down there I knew I was behind on liquids and Protein for the day, which was my own fault. The casino/hotel has a food court so I figured I'd see what I could find while she went and gambled a little prior to the show. Well I couldn't find anything, until I came to the Chinese station, there I was left with 2 options Wonton Soup or Hot & Sour Soup. I a little hesitantly chose hot & sour figuring I'd go slow to see if I could tolerate it. Well it was amazing, taste, texture, flavor, I had absolutely no problems and thought it was great. I ate from the small cup twice. I'm sure sodium was terrible but everything else was great on my taste buds. Anyone else eat this? If it's okay I could see myself eating that style alot.

p.s. 12,549 steps yesterday, no idea when was the last time I walked that many.

Skinny Girl has some delicious, and I mean REALLY DELICIOUS Asian recipes that are super healthy. I have made her spring rolls, a shrimp dish made with peppers -- just so good! I know she does Asian Soups in there, too, just haven't tried them.

As for being out and about running errands, I now keep almonds in my car, bottled Water, and premixed Protein shakes. I also live in New England, so it's cold in the car all the time now, so not worried about spoiling. Still, it helps when you are out much longer than anticipated to get in some Protein and liquids. You need to pack an emergency kit for the car, just in case. Those cheese Wisps (sold at Costco) are delicious and savory. Crunch like a chip, packed with flavor, high in protein, and portable to the car.

Great job on the steps!

I'll make one, good idea.

Never heard of cheese wisp, I'll need to check those out when I go to a full diet.

When I was on liquids, I used to go to a pho restaurant and buy the broth. Even now, we'll go and my kids will eat the noodles out of their pho and I'll snag the broth. IMHO, you did quite well.

      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.

      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!
