Hi there! I'm somewhat new at this....but, my Nutritionist advised me not to eat anything with white flour as it will become doughy and get stuck. So, I figured this to be a standard bandster thing. But, I'm noticing lots of recipes that call for white flour or use items that are made with white flour (i.e., Bisquick, Flour Tortilla). So, you all don't have issues with white flour?

I have issues with most things made with white flour. I try to stay clear of the stuff. Some people can tolerate a little, but for me it's just not worth the discomfort it causes.

Most things made with white flour are bread, bisquits, cake, doughnuts, and no most have trouble with any kind of dough. I can not and have not eaten bread because it hurts like hell when it gets stuck and does not go down quickly. But just like everyone else you will have to make that mistake on your own.

I dont have much trouble with it - bread, Pasta, etc are fine for me although I dont eat the white varieties - wholegrain versions arent really easier. I have more trouble with cakes and muffins which I try not to eat at all obviously. The main problem I find with anything doughy is that I absolutely cant drink whilst or within quite a while of eating it - it swells up with the liquid and then you've got a problem. Things like a piece of crusty bread with Soup are a no go but the bread or the soup on their own are fine.

      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!
