Those In The Green Zone... Do You Eat Breakfast?

There have been times in the past seven years when I didnt eat Breakfast - at various times I was tight enough that it was difficult - and I would have a smoothie - vanilla Optifast, banana, Peanut Butter or coffee and walnuts (mmmmm), but generally I have been able to eat breakfast - and want to.

I am not "hungry" in the morning and can easily go without and last till 11 am or so but guaranteed - every time I do it - I end up pigging out on carbs in the afternoon, the craving just appears out of nowhere at around 3 pm and I dont even make it home from work without stopping off for Cookies, muffins, or whatever. My day starts at 5.30 am and I dont get a break from teaching till 11 am recess time, so that's an awfully long time to not eat, what with a run or spin class, getting myself and kids ready for school, getting the house in order and getting to work and teaching for the morning.

I do so, so much better when i eat a good breafast, morning snack and Protein containing lunch - three meals by 2pm and then taper off with a very small dinner.

      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!
