We were invited to a cookout and I've been avoiding them like the plague. But I can't avoid this one. I have to bring something and don't know what bring! I'm thinking illbe ok as for my personal eating as I'll eat before going but I dont know what to cook. I have forgotten how to cook non- sleeve! Help!

What about a Pasta salad? Throw together corkscrew pasta (rotini?) with cut up tomatoes, cucumbers and throw in a bottle of the McCormick spice salad supreme and a bottle of wishbone Italian.

Or go to the supermarket and buy an already made whatever.

How about bringing fruit (like grapes and watermelon), or hummus and carrots (or pita chips)?

What about some cut up fruit? I find that I am drawn to fruits now and you might also be able to eat some fruit too. :)

I'm bring zucchini tots (from skinnytaste) and a WW dessert made with sugar free angel food cake! I figure I have to bring things I can eat because I know most will not. I have to have SOMETHING!

      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!
