LMAO! Sorry you had a bad experiences, but I will remember that "chew chew chew" is only a shortened form of what I should really be doing.

Lessons it took me way too long to learn:

If I already feel uncomfortable, I SHOULDN'T swallow the food in my mouth.

If I couldn't eat the food a half hour ago, I probably will have even more trouble eating it now.

It won't kill me to just stick to liquids for a while.

While a few bandsters come on here and say they have NEVER pb'd, it happens. A lot. It's your band rapping you up side the head and saying, "I told you not to eat that!"

If you can still tell what the food is that's in your mouth, you probably haven't chewed it enough.

I'm still learning . . .

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
