Starting back to work next week



Recommended Posts

So I start back to work next week and will be starting on regular foods as well. This actually scares me. I know I need to plan my lunch/snacks the night before but what do I pack? Any help/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Sliced meat (eg chicken lunch eat), boiled egg, mixed raw nuts, grapes, Babybel cheeses, Mason jar salads with sugar-free / fat-free dressing and if desperately running out the door late, a Protein Bar. (not all in the same lunch heheh)

My first weeks I took ricotta bake (google Eggface's ricotta bake) or pureed black Beans with cheese. I also made some pureed egg salad. I keep 1/2 cup mason jars of pureed black beans in my freezer. Worse comes to worst, I can always grab one out of the freezer, put 10g of cheese in a ziploc, then heat it in the microwave.

I also took one serving of Protein Powder for the afternoons - usually Syntrax nectar's Roadside Lemonade or fuzzy navel.

And if you take your Vitamins throughout the day, then put the ones you'll need during the day next to where you keep your lunch sack.

I meal prep a lot. so ill do baked chicken breast, or if I'm lazy get a big rotisserie chicken from sam's or make turkey meatloaf for Protein. we always have sliced turkey and ham in the fridge, then I grab various veggies and stuff, yogurt, sugar free Jello or pudding, beef Jerky for Snacks.

      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?
