Happy birthday!!!

Cupcakes? You could even do the little mini ones. I say everything in moderation. It's all about Portion Control. My moms bday was yesterday and I made a boxed cake mix since I knew I could take a bite and walk away vs a cake from scratch. I had a bite, logged it in myfitnesspal and didn't feel like I was missing out.

sugar free frozen yogurt, make a smoothie, if you go to a medical store or health food section you should find sugar free cake for diabetics, and a little piece of that wouldn't be bad. I can not lie I went to the frozen yogurt place in town and about 2 oz of the REAL deal for a treat for my birthday. Just the yogurt, no toppings or anything. It was a nice treat, although I did get a sugar headache and wolnt do that again for a while!

This is funny -- I went out with friends for my birthday a few weeks ago. They all know about my surgery and they also know I haven't eaten sugar for years. But the restaurant brought an ice cream sundae with a candle. After enduring the Happy Birthday song, and blowing out the candle, I tried to get someone to eat the sundae. NO ONE wanted it! I was embarrassed, but after years of sugar addiction, I am not going back there again!

You'll probably discover that cake doesn't taste the same anymore.

Happy birthday! Enjoy your day!

      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!
