My doc says chicken is one of the best things to eat, has your doc told you different? Sometimes my band doesn't like the chicken, especially if it is dry or if it has breading on it, but usually I do fine with chicken as long as I don't over-do it because it is definitly a gauged food for me....

My hubby BBQ's almost everyday! I don't always eat what he makes, but most of the time I can. Make sure that the chicken, steak, pork chop or whatever you BBQ is moist (I usually put BBQ Sauce on chicken), dip my steak in salsa or horseradish and pork chop in salsa. Don't overcook the meat.

You should be able to eat everything in moderation. There's really nothing I can't eat (don't do really well with pizza crust or pancakes, however). Try a couple bites of whatever you cook, wait a few minutes and see how it feels. If it feels fine, keep going. Eat really slowly. It takes 20 minutes for the brain to register when you've had enuf. If you eat faster, you run the risk of eating too much and then you WILL pay for it (either pain or vomiting, or both)

Happy BBQ'ing!

hub and me cook out at least 6 days a week

we eat chicken and beef.....nothing like smelling food on a grill

i advise to eat slow.. eat your allotted amounts and eat what you like, good quality foods and enjoy..dont over think it...food.. summer, friends, bbq'ing is meant to be enjoyed

We marinade what we put on the grill and ensure that it comes out moist... we've had several cookouts already this year!

      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!
