Head hunger and eating just because it is there I believe are the 2 biggest hurdles. I have had to rid my house of all unhealthy Snacks. Then there are times that I will realize I am eating a snack and I am not even hungry. We fall into well this is time I am suppose to eat mode. Like it was when I was kid, you ate a snack when you get home from school. When I get off work (I work at a school), I feel like I need a snack and many times I not really hunry.

I have got to get back to asking myself- okay am I really hungry or can I wait? If I want a small something I grab a handful of grapes or blueberries.

You can have a snack...especially if its a healthy choice.if your tracking your calories you should be fine...no worries. I keep telling myself that a couple of hunger cramps aren't going to hurt me. Know your doing great!!

Band hell sucked so badly. I hatred every second of that. But know that it won't last long. Keep the FOCUS during this time. All good things come to those who wait. ;)

      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!
