Watermelon! It's the only food that comes right back up when I eat it.

Beef was intolerable for the longest time. After 6 months, anything goes, but I do not eat bad fat, bad carbs, pastas, most fruit, breads or sweets. Essentially, I eat a modified Paleo diet now and feel great, full of energy.

Fiddle.....have you read "The Primal Blueprint?" It's modified paleo....my wife has been doing it for the past 2 months with great results.

Sorry for the hijack.

Thanks for the book recommendation. I will check it out and see if it fits or improves my current eating strategies.

I'm 3 weeks out, plus gallbladder removal. I can't eat whey, (yes, that's right. No shakes or powders), dairy, or high fat. All 3 give me physical pain in my stomach, severe nausea and diarrhea. Oh, I can't do scrambled eggs either. A dime sized amount felt like I'd swallowed a very large brick. On the plus side, I have never slimed or vomited.

I thought I would try cantaloupe, because it is an easy fruit to eat. Big mistake: burned in my tummy for hours. Ironically, pineapple, which is my favorite fruit, went down with no problems. pineapple is on my nutritionist's list as "after 6 months" (and I am only at 3 months), so I am going to lay off it for awhile. I'm trying a peeled apple next.

Before VSG, I used to eat Atkins Protein bars -- like 5 a day (that's close to 1,000 calories. Any wonder why I had a weight problem?). Now I can't stand the sweetness. And they are sugar-free. I can eat maybe 1/2 of One Bar, and then put it away for another few days. Last time I was in GNC buying one little box of the cranberry-almond flavor, the mngr of the store commented that he had never seen me buy so few (I used to get 10 boxes at once). He didn't comment on my nearly 50 lbs weight loss however. Guess I am affecting his bottom line, huh?

      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!
