I I am almost two weeks out and I am craving red meat! A big fat steak would take care of this, but we all know that's not the answer. Anyone else crave red meat and if so what did you do to subside this craving?

Just an idea, maybe make a juicy steak up then chew/suck out all the juices and spit out the meat. It might help

Your 2 weeks out of what? Pre surgery or Post surgery. Pre I would go eat steak. Steaks are great after surgery but the portion just isnt the same. I miss a big steak, but love getting skinny more.

At two weeks out you shouldn't be eating anything as solid as steak. Aren't you still on liquids? Or at least puréed/mushies! It's a craving. Better get used to them and figure out a way to deal with them without sabotaging your health and weight loss.

Yes I know I should be eating anything two weeks after surgery. That's why I said it wasn't the answer..

I am only on soft/ liquid foods.

The question was has anyone had this craving and what did you do about it?

      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!
