Looks like I'm the only Cuban lol My mom is Cuban and my dad is black. I'm really dreading not being able to eat spicy food and rice :( I heard the rice will expand in your stomach and spicy food may come out like flames lol I love adding serranos to everything and I probably will have to cut back on things that add heat for a while.

Don't worry you are not alone, my husband is Cuban & Italian and all he wants is his rice and Beans with steak empanizado. So I cook it. He loves bis Cuban sandwiches and who can resist ? Don't know how it will work when I can't eat that anymore...

I'm Colombian married to a Cuban Italian and he is a foodie. Lol. So I will face my challenges as I eat like a worm and his food will smell so good. For some reason Italians and Latina think food equals love... That's why they wanna feed us...

      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!
