Yeah, the beef stew is definitely a winner. I had some last night over mashed potatoes. I'm planning to do a pot roast/beef stew in the crock pot which will be great for me and my dh loves it, too.

Casseroles are allowed on my food plan. I've had squash casserole for the past few meals.

Avocado, hummus and refried Beans have also been my saviors.

A couple of times I made a little mix with the canned chicken, refried Beans, salsa or creamy salsa dip, low fat cheese and fat-free cream cheese. Yum! Another idea is the fat-free cream cheese, a little light ranch, canned chicken, hot sauce and low-fat cheese heated together - tastes like buffalo chicken wings. That's the allowed version of my favorite buffalo chicken dip.

V8 and Tomato juice also curb my "appetite" when I want something salty. The 5.5 oz cans are perfect. I keep them in desk at work.

Why has my doctor told me not to have anything to drink 15 minutes before I eat and then an hour after... never with a meal? What's the purpose?

liquid will wash the food right through your band and you will lose that full filling sooner.

You can eat mashed potatoes even instant. Baked chicken breast, and fish. yogurt basically everything that is tender and you chew well. Staying away from the obvious Pasta rice fried etc. Season the meat to taste and put it in the oven. Slow cookers are great for meals , you can do meat potatoes and veggies.

      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.

      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!
