Carbs - cakes, muffins, Cookies. Once I started on those foods I couldnt stop. The sugar rush was addictive.

I've discovered since banding that if I dont eat them I can avoid them quite easily. But if I were going to break out those are still the foods I'd head to.

But overall I was a healthy eater, just too big an eater. So I dont have a ton of problem foods I need to avoid or that I think about all the time.

Pre-banding: Cereal! I would eat 3 big bowls of it at a time. Ice cream. Diet Cokes

Post-banding: I never eat Cereal. I still eat ice cream. This is weird, but I pig out on Zone Perfect bars...that means I eat two instead of one, but only sometimes. I figure it cures the chocolate craving, and at least I get a lot of Protein. How's that for a rationalization? LOL! I like pita chips and hummas...why do all the "empty" foods go down so easy?

Dee Dee, chips and dip for me are like krypton for Superman. My mouth is watering just talking about'em.

mousecrazy, I *thought* I was the only one that gorged on cerel in pre-banding days. I was going to put that on my original reply, but thought others wouldnt understand.... *sigh* thank God I cant do that anymore.

      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!
