Last question :)

Are any of you able to eat lean cuisines? I have three little kids and I don't ahve time to be making me something different everytime I cook for them, so I figured I would drink lots of shakes (which I love) and was hoping that when I couldn't eat what they were eating, I owuld have a lean cuisine.

I take Lean Cuisines or their equivalent(Smart Ones, Healthy Choice, etc.) to work all the time for lunch when I don't have time to whip up tuna salad or something else. Some people don't think it's good due to sodium, etc., but I think it is better than so many other things I could put down my throat! It is all measured and usually has a serving or 2 of veggies, so I say go for it.

I may eat a lean cuisine or similar if its takeaway for dinner, but that's not often.

My kids arent so little anymore (11, 9 and 4) but honestly, I was always too lazy to make different meals so they learned to eat what we ate from a really early age - and I take the view that if I oughtnt to be eating what they are - if its full of fat, sugar or salt - then they shouldnt be eating it either. We just have healthy meals that the whole family can eat.

Not that I'm at all critical of a lean cuisine, but really, you have to learn to blend this in with your family and make your family diet healthy, you cant live a lifestyle of eating differently to them.

Sure, lots of people eat them. There is a South Beach one that I really like.

It's chicken with some sort of spaghetti sauce on it with broccoli. It's really good. Just try to get one that doesn't have a lot of Pasta, rice noodles, etc.

      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.

      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!
