Ok Guys Experiment Tunafish/Babyfood!



Recommended Posts

:)Ok Guys Experiment Tunafish/Babyfood! Ok I did and experiment last nite with a coke bottle turned upside down into a glass like a funnel. I was just wanting to see how long the hourglass effect would take to work, I know its a lame way to go lol but hey I'm very optimistic and have to use what tools I have, so anyways I first poured babyfood into my coke bottle and within minutes all the food was out of the bottle and into the glass. So the hourglass effect worked for babyfood going through the bottleneck, so my next experiment was tunafish on the bottom with some green beens on the top i ran that through the blender first and made sure it was somewhat juicy before putting it in the bottle, well all I can say is that the tuna for the most part stayed in the bottle even after I poured Water on the top hoping it would make it fall out? But it didn't even after a full hour it remained so what do you think guys lame experiment or will the band be similar to the bottleneck?

It's certailnly an amusing experiment, but the difference betweem the bottle and the band is that the band also has the help of stomach acids to break down the food.

So if you look at it that way, it may suggest that eating mushed up tuna and green Beans may take longer to go through meaning that you may be saited for longer?

I'm no scientist but that is a different look on it. I don't know if I can eat babyfoods, the thought is not an entirely pleasent one. I know when I was feeding my son, I wouldn't be nicking spoonfuls of his food like some of my friends did. Maybe I'm missing out lol.

Let me know what conclusions you come up with, with your experiments

I guess your rite with the fact that some stomache acids would come up to help, and really it should take a while for the solid foods to hourglass out if it was working properly perhaps I just wasn't patient enough but my wife was ready to kill me for making the kitchen and living room smell like tuna and babyfood so I had to end the experiment within an hour lol.

There's also the body's movement to push the food through, which the Coke bottle doesn't have. The esophagus and stomach work to actively move through the system, and it's the band that slows that process down. It's not supposed to stop it completely, though, and that's what you're seeing with the Coke bottle.

These visuals will stay with me a while, sad to say. Yuck.

      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!
