best good foods and favorite bads



Recommended Posts

We all are doing this because of the wonders it can do with our body and life, and hopefully most of our bodies crave the better choices, but it isnt always so. So for thr sake of being human let's post what our new good for you wants and cravings and our bad ones.

My favorite new good food that I crave are salads, but with romaine lettuce. Lots of tomatoes and black olives and cucumbers with light ranch on the side. Since surgery I love veggies and was so afraid I wouldnt be able to eat them but thankfully I can for the most part. And its always best super fresh!

My bad craving tho generally is salt,and its the salty kettle chips. Its only 1 brand I will eat (its a brown and black bag of sea salt and ground pepper) but if I have access to these its a total beware situation because before you know it half of thr bag is gone!

Whay about you?

I'm still learning to "love" Protein shakes! LOL Seriously, taking away the simple carbohydrates that I craved pre-surgery has allowed me to really learn to enjoy the wonderful summer fruits. Cherries, peaches and watermelon are my favorites.

I will admit to eating those stupid orange slice candies. Talk about empty calories! I figured out what I really like is the crystal sugar on the outside of the candy. The good news is I can only eat one or two now where I would have eaten half a bag before starting this process.

I wish there was a way to crave only the healthy food, and to view the other stuff as "poison".

My new favorite good is cottage cheese. I mix Jello with it or sf pudding. Yum! I'm really craving pancakes at IHop!! I started back to school yesterday and passed up on the chips, and fruit chews. Next week they will be serving us Breakfast two days. I know there will be Bagels and cream cheese ...something else I'm craving. Help!

      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!
