@GreenTealael: your tummy must be miniscule. Do you find that your portions are smaller now since your revision, or did you always have the same amount of restriction?

No clue what actual my capacity is ... no doubt smaller (but I suspect its similar to my VSG because I had a stricture then) but it was all the lettuce. I got bored lol. Delicious but boring and tiring to eat so I stopped.

I have often thought OMG do I eat too much? But I think that might be a WLS community thing (the desire to eat the least possible=successful surgery=better outcome) I eat different amounts of different things at different times. But in comparison to my strangers, fam and friends I eat almost nothing.

Today's lunch: Peruvian chicken stew made with a soy sauce and ginger base. The veggies are orange bell peppers and scallions. This time I ate the potatoes. I know it doesn't look nice since I took apart the chicken but its all about the flavor! Most of the dishes I make are suppose to be eaten with rice but I've been getting use to the no rice thing.

The leftovers ended up being my dinner. It took me all day to finish the rest.

Thank you! And yessss I am :D Its nice to know that even after surgery I can eat some what of the same things. I was worried my new stomach wouldn't be able to handle some of the spices and Condiments that are used in Peruvian dishes but I haven't had a problem so far.

I'm struggling y'all. All I can seem to force myself to eat is chips and Peanut Butter cups.

I haven't worked out in about a month and I'm working 15 hour days.

Any advice or tips? My mind after 13 years of competitive swimming and a year of broth, Jello, shakes etc for pre and post op is like "hell no...but slight exception for candy". Otherwise I just don't want anything.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
