Food Buddy



Recommended Posts

Prior to surgery I would eat out a lot and not give it a second thought on how much I spent. The other day at work I decided I wanted a Gyro so I told my friend that I would buy for the both of us. Each meal was $10.95 each plus tax and $6.00 delivery, total was something around $30. I took two bites before I started to feel full. that is when it hit me, I realized I used to spend a lot of money on food! I was telling my friend that when she said "I told you we should have split one meal". Crap had I heard that I could have saved money! So now we decided to be food buddies, we will split meals since we both don't eat much. haha. Anyone find a food buddy?

It's a great idea, I've got my sister, who has never been a big eater and it's great because we pretty much like the same things

My husband is my food buddy. He had a bypass 9 years ago, and although he can pretty much eat normal portions now, since I had my surgery we split our meals at restaraunts. It keeps him in check with his portions, and helps our wallet. Win win!

My husband is my food buddy. Like you, I always spent a lot of money on food and now I'm super cheap. I don't want to pay for a whole entree when I will only eat a few bites. I just bum food off of my husband's plate or get a Soup or small salad.

      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!
