One weird food you can't live without....what's the strangest thing?



Recommended Posts

WATERMELON.

it's out of season and I cry a little every time I spend the big bucks...lol....but it's the treat I crave like nothing else.

If anyone had told me I'd literally crave watermelon more than candy, donuts, fresh baked bread....I'd have said they were crazy.

I bought a deli container of melon chunks and ate it in the car the other day. LOL. But I thought...ya know...this is the time I used to break down and get fast food...after shopping. It's a habit trigger. So, now I eat watermelon in the car after shopping. I can live with that compromise.

And yep, it would probably be better to break the habit all together....but my therapist says "baby steps." "Be kind to yourself, you're doing a great job." "Do what works." "Mindful compromise is progress."

I like this whole idea of being nice to myself about food and not punishing myself anymore. I know where that leads.

The new me makes mindful compromises...and is kind to herself.

It's a good thing.

Nuts. All nuts. I have food restrictions so when I'm on the road they are a safe haven for me. I can eat them no matter what, I'll always have nuts, any country on the planet. Lol

I don't know that it's weird, but mine is dark chocolate. I have at least 1 piece every day. I track it!

      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!
