First thing you ate when you were cleared for normal food



Recommended Posts

I got cleared yesterday for regular food. I had some large shrimp from Whole Foods. My eyes were bigger than my stomach putting 6 on my plate. I managed to get down 4 and didnt think twice about even attempting the last 2. The cocktail sauce was INTENSE and I almost fell over in the chair the first bite.

I am very concerned with what happens now that I am cleared I want to keep losing like I have been since I am just under half way to my goal. I will never make the best choices but I dont graze and I listen to my body on Portion Control.

A system I used with the band was if you think you're hungry or want to eat drink Water, lots of it or hot tea. Tell yourself you can eat but just not right now. It is all about delay and not deny. The best taste is the first 2 bites, the rest you really don't enjoy, so savor the food, only treat yourself to the best. You deserve only the best food and no more mindless eating.

      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.

        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.
