Today is the first day my mind is messing with me. I'm at home post-op 6 days and doing great--but today I have been very hungry. With all the talk of the hurricane it's making me think of all the comfort foods I would normally be prepping for...BUT...I did this for me--the new me! Sip on!

I find myself hungry when I'm home too. Weekends I want to eat! But when at work I have to remind myself to eat! Comfort food is something our minds is always going to back and yes the mind is sooo hard to overcome and train to not want old habits.

Hang in there and sip sip sip.

It doesn't help that ALL the commercials are for food! I had the same issue arise at roughly the same time. Remind yourself that it's normal - it will take time to learn to differentiate between brain hungry vs belly hungry. I'm dealing with Sandy (NY) too. I'm craving comfort today -

Good luck!

Yummy food. I love food even if I can't eat what I live anymore. I'm in ny also & thanks god it wasn't bad in my area except trees that felt.

Stay strong!!! I have been having to stop myself lately when I have a craving and ask myself, am I actually hungry or is this just because I'm tired or thirsty. I also have to ask myself will this food get me closer to my goal of weight loss or will it hurt me? Before surgery, I didn't think before I ate. If I wanted it, I just grabbed it. It was so mindless. I'm so happy for this new lifestyle and mindset!

      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!
