That's funny! I've never had couscous or quinoa, though I know the latter is very trendy right now. I have had risotto and it's delicious when properly made. Was your nutritionist recommending them? I can see why couscous and quinoa would be recommended, but am surprised by risotto. I would think the fat content would be too high. But it you're having it recommended to you, I will ask my nutritionist as well - I love that stuff!

No she hasn't recommended any of them I'm just noticing them on menus more often now that I can get my usual (loaded mash and corn or rice and fries) I try to prepare myself if I go to a restaurant I'm off restrictions but I am still very nervous to try anything

All 3 of them are a big NO for me...I guess it all depends on what your NUT wants your daily carb count to be. One serving of any of those would be more than all the carbs I'm "allowed" in a day. Which stinks, cause I love all 3.

      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!
