Oh man do I hear that! I did the same thing and had a serious nervous breakdown. I cried like twice the first week and a half. haha but I told myself exactly what you are! Eating what you aren't supposed to is NOT worth all the trouble we had to go through. I mean surgery, hello! lol You just have to stay strong, maybe change the channel when they come on, or even read a book blah blah. You can do it though, but it's so hard at first :)

Do you have a DVR, if so, get into the habit of recording the shows you like and watch them in a little time delay. That way you can fast forward through the commercials. I absolutely love DVR for that one thing more than anything else. I may only wait 10-15 minutes into a show to start watching it, that usually makes is to I can get through without having to sit through the commercials.

The commercials were bad enough, but my wife records every cooking show on TV watches them one after the other. I'm 3 months out and I still think I'm gonna have to kill something......

I was the same way for my first 2-3 weeks. For me it was all those commercials with the big juicy steaks! I was going crazy with all the cravings. It does past. The more you are able to eat, the fewer cravings you will have. I am almost two months and still haven't gotten that steak. Dont even like the taste of red meat anymore. It's all part of the process!

It's only hard first month, it will get easier, anyways if you do try that food you will get sick, you will probably get the slimes and vomiting. Also those commericials were dificult in those starting days. But you will learn your limitations.

      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.

        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!
