At 3 months I ate meatballs.... Would buy the premade ones from costco (they have a varity of different flavors) it was just easier to count the amount of protien. I ate chicken wings, my favorite are honey BBQ. I usually buy them from Costco... Very low cost considering I don't eat much. With the protien I would cut up tomatoe 1/4 cup and eat it with the protien. Avocado and tomatoe was another favorite. Cottage cheese is another low fat protien option. I also made Soups with meat and veggies. I still to this day can not eat bread without feeling like I swallowed a sponge.... So needless to say I stay away from bread. I can however, eat corn tortillas... So a small taco is a pleasant meal! Apricot glazed shrimp skewers! Mini Meat loaf muffins are good also! Hope this helps!

I'll have some chicken salad (low fat mayo) with just a little cranberry sauce on it. A meatball w/ a little spaghetti squash. deli wrap ups.. Roll some turkey and cheese. Or turkey and ham if you prefer. If others in the office are ordering out, I'll get a "sub" without the roll, and oil/vinegar on the side. It lasts a few meals. Or if it is Chinese food, I'll get steamed shrimp w/ veggies.

I'll wrap leftovers from dinner in 4oz. containers to bring in for lunch a lot.

Everything is high protein/ low fat/low carbs. I dont' feel I'm really limited.

Good luck!

Check out the muffin tin meal recipes. emilybites.com and thworldaccordingtoeggface.com I have gotten several ideas from them and I will make a batch or two a week. I love bringing them to work or eating at home...the portions are great! I make a manicotti-like one, a taco one, and also did meatloaf (not my fave). I have also tried some dessert ones too! ;-) Anyway, I absolutely love these and it's nice to eat something real just small!

I usually eat leftovers from dinner the night before. If not, a sandwich, yea I said it, A SANDWICH! haha wraps, I buy big containers of spring mix lettuce and make salads usually with olives, red bell pepper, tomatoes and top it with tuna, chicken, or lunch meat with balsalmic vinaigrette.

The chicken salad with cranberry sauce sounds delish! I'm going to try that!

      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!
