Our nutritionist said no fruit ever. Basically I don't expect to eat fruit until I am a healthy weight. Not that I don't love fruit, but to me now they are sugar bombs in my mind.

My Dr. said I can eat fruit, but limit what fruit and the amount eaten. If I do eat it, I'll eat a fruit that has a high Water content (Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Pineapple), but I'll do that several times a month and only in the morning. I agree with you in gist, you do have to worry about the sugars. I don't drink juice unless it is sugar free and most of the time, aspartame free.

This is what my NUT said also. I checked her list so I have the berries she suggested to eat today. Do you all eat bread? I'm kind of scared of it since nothing goes down easily. But my list said I can half of an english muffin.

I tried bread and it made incredibly sick and I am okay with crackers and tortillas. I could feel the bread trying to come back up, I only ate one slice but it made me sick for hours. My list tells me I can have a lot that I know I wouldn't be able to eat. My NUT said I can eat half an english muffin and two eggs now and I know for a fact that isn't possible. Just go off of what you feel you can or can't do.

Bread, no. Tortilla's, no. Well, I can't say no. If I do, I'll have it once a month. I feel both are a waste and offer no benefits what's so ever. I replaced a lot of "breads" w/ lettuce wraps and it seems to really work. I have noticed, they're now making Protein breads and tortillas, but you have to really read the nutrition labels, they're not all they appear to be.

Six weeks out and my nutritionist said NO bread or grains (or fruits). Right now my go-to veg is zucchini. I bought a spiralizer and I am like a kid with it. I swear everything tastes better if it's "spiral." Lightly sauteed spiral zucchini with shrimp and a small dab of basil pesto. I also seem to like tuna salad and egg salad but only if it is made with cottage cheese and not mayo or anything else. Go figure.

I'm 5 weeks post op and had them last night. So good and I could actually stand the taste. I had them with a bit of ranch dressing as that is low in carbs. What week are you?

Monday will be week 4

It's amazing all the different recmmendation from Nuts. I got soft fruit and veg at 3 weeks. No seeds (strawberries, raspberries). No bread, grains, nuts. No salads. After I hit my Protein goal I have a few cherries and or half peach. Low carbs. Still keeps me under 30 carbs a day.

LOVE Zoodles! Sauteed with chopped celery and a little bit of ground beef and marinara sauce with Protein Powder. Pecorino Romano on top. Yummers!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
