you cant think about food the same way after surgery...............food is fuel, a necessary nutrient for healing, weightloss and maintainance....

Go with a turkey or chicken burger and lowfat cheese........no bread! Change your thought process on food! Think of how to make your favorite stuff BETTER, less fat and calories....its kind of fun!

Good Luck.

I had my first social lunch and just said that I was watching my diet and had a Protein Shake so i wasn't very hungry, I then took the dessert to go and gave it to one of my kids (mini dessert from Olive Garden). This seemed to make it seem normal and no one asked questions.

Before and after surgery, I hate when people are concerned about what I'm eating!

It's weird huh?? My husbands best friend was sitting across from me and kept putting his fork across the table to and was trying to get me to eat bites of his cake!! I felt bad because it seemed to make him sad that I wouldn't ... Finally I got up to to the other side of the room because a friend had a baby and I was going to steal it (not to eat it FYRE) but damn if they weren't feeding that baby cake! 0_o

Then being on this website is like a ticking time bomb for you....and don't even think about MyFitnessPal. I got a PM the other day on there because someone noticed I ate a kit kat. Holy Jeeez....the kit kat police.

Hmmm maybe I should become a MFP troll.

If you got that kind of free time on your hands I could stir up some controversy here for you. I don't mind.

Glad I don't have any MFP friends.

I am on MFP and am honest about what I eat. So if I eat something I shouldn't, so be it!!! I'm an adult and can make my decisions. So far, I';m surprised something hasn't been said about my lack of exercise. Just not feeling great right now.

The thread that I about anything but cheese burgers. I am taking bets how long this thread lives. It covers everything! :)

If you are wanting the cheese for Protein, use 2% American or cheddar. I can/do eat about 3 oz of lean ground meat, I normally do not add a cheese slice just because I don't want the additional calories. If we are OUT, I might eat a bite with a bun, but normally, out or at home, I don't eat the bread. I dip in mustard, eat a pickle or two. So, I eat 'a hamburger' sans bun!! :)

      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.

        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!
