I Learned Not To Eat Pretzels



Recommended Posts

Ok so there they were... Staring me down from the coffee table... Begging me to eat them.... I gave in and ate about 6 pretzels... Then I felt instantly nauseous... Bad decision. Im not supposed to eat them cuz they are not good for me and now I know they'll make me sick

Anyone able to eat pretzels? Will we ever be ok to eat them?

I've eaten pretzels a few times. The secret is to chew them to mush, which kind of defeats the purpose of eating them. They don't make a good substitute for cheetos either, darn it!! :)

How do I get myself not to eat them in the first place? I feel I am really struggling with limiting what I eat...

Unfortunately, they are a slider food for me....along with ALL chips. So, I must stay away from them all, otherwise I could eat them all day!!

kmbrly, The same way I do it. Do NOt have them in the house. If they are there because hubby or kids love them, then they need to be hidden. Put them away, in the pantry, in a cabinet, but do not leave them out where you can see them all the time. Since I live alone, I get to say NO to even bringing trigger foods into the house. No cheetos, no pretzels, no junk.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
