veggie woes



Recommended Posts

This is gonna sound ridiculous but I really miss veggies. I feel like there just isn't any room in my diet for plants. I eat a veggie burger for dinner just to feel like I am getting some plants in my diet. Anybody else feeling this way?

Trust me, it's not ridiculous! I have always been a huge veggie fan! I am with madam...I want a huge salad with all the fixings!! And it's sweet potato season! OMG I want one sooo bad...well technically I had one, but could only eat a tiny bit of it!! URGH.

I am 8 weeks tomorrow, and I too feel like I do not get enough veggies in, I focus on protien then after that I am full. I try to have a lil spinach, or green Beans with dinner, but I am so worried about Protein intake I make that first priority. I hope I will be able to eat more eventually.

How about chopped salad? It was easier to get my veggies in that way when I had my band!

The issue is that space in my tummy is valuable real estate now and it seems to be an all Protein neighborhood! I picked up some vegan Protein shakes today which ima try to sandwich my day with so I can at least fill one meal with veggies. I'm a vegetarian and the whey Protein, cheese, yogurt, eggs and tofu diet is starting to make me sick! I'm only 2.5 months out.

      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!
