Water, water, water. Keep drinking it. IF you are full from water you won't snack. (well, it helps me at least)

I hear ya! I only have a 4 minute drive to work... and yet I'd STILL rather work from home! lol...

Now that my office is "going paperless" I'm hoping to talk them into letting me work from home a few days a week. :)

This works for me: sugar-free hard candy. I love life savers and Brach's butterscotch. There is just something about having that in my mouth that takes away the hungry.

Where I work, I sit at a desk all day and find myself snacking when bored. To which at home I do not. Its weird, anyways usually I keep cheeses in the fridge at work and also some crackers to go with. This helps me ease that snacking behavior and then I drink a lot of Water. Problem with my office they LOVE their animal crackers, Peanut Butter filled crackers, and candy. I have fallen victim many times to snacking on the "free" food here. It's hard, I get it. I wouldn't get too mad at yourself days like this happen. I snacked on some pickles and cheese a few minutes ago to get rid of that snacking craving I had. I eat pickles on occasion because I reduced salt in my diet. To which I hate a lot of salt on food now.Anyways, Good luck and don't get too frustrated.

I will put a sugar free mint in my mouth...has the same effect as just brushing your teeth. Everything tastes yucky after you do that! This trick I learned when I was dieting and I would bake for the holidays...I would put a sugar free cough drop in my mouth. Again, you wont want to eat or even taste anything for a while....yuck.

Good luck!

      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!
