You're not slipping- you're normal. It's a major change! I'm 12 weeks out and just recently started on hard boiled eggs. I could only do scrambled or over easy. I still have difficulties with white chicken. Get yourself cheese sticks, Nuts, seasoned soy nuts, at about 6weeks I wanted sandwiches- so I did my usual only in a lettuce wrap. Chili and Soups became my friend. Lentil Soup, split pea, chicken broth with veggies. My challenge was meeting the Protein in-take, so I purchase herbal life fruit punch Protein Drink (14-15grams), mix with Water and ice, once a day it was filling and triggered weight loss as I was meeting my protein in-take. Best of luck!

chicken and eggs can both be hard to digest early on. chicken is really dense and can be very dry.

Have you tried baked fish? Baked it is very soft and flaky and melts in your mouth.

      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.

      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!
