So, we went shopping today since I hit solids at the end of the week and my husband has to lose weight as well, and I found Banza chickpea Pasta. Has anyone tried it? I bought a box for my husband to try because it's packed with Protein.

Careful with that stuff...it's better than wheat or rice Pasta but if you are watching carbs it has over 30 for just 2oz. I think a much better choice for Pasta would be something that's not processed like spiralized zucchini or spaghetti squash. I use both and the entire family loves either of them....the kids like the spaghetti squash a bit more than the zucchini and they actually didn't know it wasn't pasta the first time until I let them know.

I know everyone has varying opinions on this, but my goal post-op has been to stay away from processed foods as much as humanly possible. If it comes in a box, I tend to leave it on the shelf! I have stuck to natural, whole foods and haven't counted carbs or calories...in fact the only thing I've counted is Protein to make sure I'm getting enough and so far it's worked amazingly.

      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!
