Hubby is making turkey burgers for the kids....I made homemade broccoli cheese Soup earler. I will drink the "juices" from the broccoli cheese soup and watch everyone enjoy Soup and burgers for dinner.

Why yes I am a carnivore and am having difficulty with not eating actual meat...but faintly meat flavored drinks.< /p>

Count your blessings... lol I am the cook, here, Day after surgery business as usual...I'm not complaining, guess it would be cool if someone else cooked... I'm just so used to doing it, I miss food, (I think) I'm still not sure what to think of this life changing decision, I have made, the one thing I AM sure of, however.. is that it's permanent, thank god, 'cuz I'm a damn good cook! I'm 6 weeks out today, and It's so hard, a bite here, a foamie there, heart burn, nausea, cranky as hell, I'm ready to gargle gravel, just for some substance and something different, haha< happy with my choice?Yes, I'll be small soon, Hungry??? probably for the rest of my life... think I'll take up shopping,.but real hard to think of new jeans, with the smell of home made BBQ chicken burritos wafting thru the house, and me sitting here, thinking about a hot cup of chicken broth....ahhh, life.. it is good is it not??? ;)

Yes, the first couple of weeks is the hardest!!!!!! I think my toughest moment was smelling bacon cooking on the weekend after my surgery. The funny thing is that it smelled so great and then after a couple of minutes the smell made me sick.

I still don't eat at the table with my family even though I can eat a lot of what they are eating. I find I lose my concentration and eat too much. So, I am banished to eat on my own in the living room. Oh well, this too shall pass...

      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!
