Sweets



Recommended Posts

Not that it's a big deal but I was wondering if I'd ever be able to have cake or sweets again. Im getting married and it would be a shame not to be able to have a piece of wedding cake.

It depends on each person. I have trouble with sweets, but some people can not handle them.

I can handle 3-4 bites of almost anything. More and I'll dump. But, 3-4 bites satisfies the urge so it works for me!

My surgeon stated that one or two bites probably won't hurt, but if you go for the whole piece then you probably will dump. This same question was brought up at the weight loss meeting. I'm not there yet, just 1 week post op.

I've not tried to eat a piece of cake....but I've had bites of it and sugar doesn't bother me. I'm a little over 5 months out. I've tried just about everything except for lettuce. I don't have issues with any food that I can find. I can eat milk and all that. I've got like the super pouch attached to the super system. It's a bit scary. I've eaten several blueberry muffins. I do watch the sugar in stuff...but really...I'm kinda bad with my eating. I do justify it by eating healthy and right over 80% of the time. :) So yeah, you might be able to eat some cake.

      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.

      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!
