I totally understand what you mean!! food was my drug for so long it's very hard for me bc I went through so much depression and stress that I turned to food so that's always been my go to so now trying to end that addition is only through help of God. I have tried salmon twice and it didn't work at all. Sometimes if something has a lot of seasoning on it I can't eat it. chicken hasn't really bothered me as long as it's not dry. But I almost have to eat it shredded like and yes it takes me forever to eat! And that's been really hard for me bc I'm use to hurrying and eating and taking big bites and big drinks of drink so it's definitely hard learning to eat again. I have tried too many veggies yet. I have been eating eggs and tuna and chicken and I love the grilled fish from Caption ds knock on wood every time I have went it hasn't been dry and it's so easy to eat. I found Pinterest to be the best at finding recipes that are good for us. Some are still kinda crazy and they say they are for us and you read the ingredients and you are like no way that's healthy lol but they are some really good healthy ones on there. I fixed cauliflower crust grilled chicken pizza last night it was actually pretty good. I got this amazing sauce from sams yesterday that has nothing in it and it's so good I'll have to get you the name of it! I'm so glad you replied to my post it really helps having someone else to talk to that's going through the same!




Just saw your post. If it's really seasoned like dry spices I can't eat it well but love the seasoned tuna packs. Had buffalo for lunch today. It is great to have someone to talk to as well

Awesome I'll have to go get some! I probably wouldn't like the dill or Thai either lol... I made some chicken salad the other day it was pretty good. Just hard eating it without crackers lol. I feel like I eat the same stuff over and over and I get tired of it.

I remember my first cracker lol. I don't eat them often and only 1 when I do. I'm glad I can have lettuce. I like the crunch w/o guilt. Me too on the same thing different day. Makes grocery shopping easy though. Protein Shake for Breakfast @ 5 tuna and yogurt for lunch which is normally 2 separate meals at 9 and 12 around 3 I have a snack which is killing me at the moment. .5 serving of lunch meat thin slices and Colby jack cheese 1 serving. Most days. Dinners are different and weekends. But Mon- Thursday breakfast and lunch its the same. I stick to that better. Carbs are high cal and most slide through just leave me hungry soon.

      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!
