Hw 316lbs

Pre surgery 300lbs

Cw 273lbs

This journey has its ups and downs. Believe I just passed 3 week plateau. I was told no bread no rice no Pasta must have 60-90 grams of Protein per day! I struggle constantly I find myself hungry and obsessed with food I have stick to the restrictions are a piece of candy here or there and keep up the fluids and exercise daily. These are my demons and I am trying to deal with them but is it hard and when is it going to be easier? I was told I would be hungry like this or crave sweets which I do sometimes. Having a semi meltdown

Wow, sorry you are having a difficult time right now. It's easy for me to say, as I have not walked a day in your shoes, (SD - Dec. 20th) but try to focus on the goals you set. The goal of this long journey and the end rewards. I know it's a struggle but food and sweets will always be here, so when you've reached your goals you can endulge a little. Stay focus for now. Best of luck. I hope this help, I feel for you.

I just hit week 6 and slowly starting regular foods. I am a massive addict. My boyfriend isn't really helping either. Don't stress yourself out. Get a really good chocolate Protein Shake, EAS or Premier Protein. Drink when you are hungry. You are supposed to eat 4-6oz every hour. Eat when you're hungry. If it involves a sweet or 10 shhhh lol do it. The whole thing is that you are in the healing stage. If you want I can give you some really good meals that totally feel like you are cheating but you're not.

I have tons! All with chicken breast.

I buy the Perdue individually wrapped. They are easier. Get taco seasoning broil the chicken then chop up add seasoning like you do with meat. Serve with avocado slices and sour cream. If you can eat bread then use a soft taco shell. Sooooo good

Get deli turkey breast chop up into small pieces add goat cheese (I use cranberry goat cheese) or feta cheese add avocado and small chunks of green apple.

Spray chicken breasts with Pam. Then cover in shredded parm cheese and broil. Serve with some kind of veggie

I also keep ready to eat mashed sweet potatoes on hand.

Desert - get redi whip fat free, choc rice cakes sprinkles and strawberries or blue berries. Put whipped cream on rice cake put fruit on whipped cream and add sprinkles. Feels do decadent but not. I also get sugar free pudding and make a faux sundae with whipped cream and sprinkles

I have more but tired of typing lol. Hope that helps

      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!
