Are there any items (not necessarily food) that have been very helpful? For example, calorie tracker, step counter, big enough water bottle, containers to help with Portion Control, something to help with Protein, anything else? THANKS!!!

I'm a little over 3 weeks post op. The things I am finding the most useful:

- food scale. Get used to measuring everything.

- Immersion blender. You will be drinking lots of Protein shakes. I had been using a shaker bottle, but the immersion blender is so much easier and makes the shake smoother.

- 4 oz containers. Has 2 uses. First, makes it easy to make sure I'm eating the right amount. Second, my portion of food fills the container, which for some reason makes me more satisfied with the meal. Even though 4oz easily fills me up, it was depressing to see my tiny portion of food in a big bowl. It made me feel deprived even though I wasn't hungry. Brains are weird!

- Tiny spoon & fork. Helps make sure I eat slower and take smaller bites.

- 32 oz Water bottle with measurements on the side. Makes it easier to keep track of Fluid intake.

I really appreciate this topic, looking forward more replies.

The Yeti vacuum stainless steel drink cups are excellent at keeping drinks hot/cold, your choice.

      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.

        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!
