Eat Protein and green vegetables...avoid breading, breads and pastas, sweets. Avoid veggies that are higher in carbs (like corn, peas).

Wendy's Chili is a great low carb, low cal, fill you upper! And is very band friendly.

A small Wendy's chili is 19 grams of carbohydrate...for me that's too high (when I'm trying to eat low carb) but for some I guess it would be ok....

If you eat your Protein foods first you are going to stay full for longer & should take away any cravings you might have, keep drinking plenty too..

write the good foods down on paper & take it with you it will make it easier to chose from menus

Hello~

Have you ever tried eating tuna fish mixed with a little mayo, seasoning and celery, onions, peppers, green olives etc. you can mix it up and put it in a container or wrap it in a lettuce leaf. It is very high in Protein and very Yummy. Also shrimp in low fat and high Protein, my friend had the banding done about 5 years ago and those two things have become her staple. The bags of shrimp usually are about $10-20 per bag but you can get a lot of meals out of one bag. I think the key is being prepared and always trying to have something on hand at all times. I was just banded a week ago today so I'm still on liquids. Hope this helps. Good luck to you :confused:

      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!
