I started eating dal regularly after week 4 because even though it's pureed and a good source of Protein, it gives you gas. I did have a spoonful every once in a while during the puréed phase to get the taste of it and it did not make me sick.

Roti is something that I stay away from even now because I am still in the weight loss process and that is our bread which is a no no. Roti/bread is something that we will have to eliminate to once or even less than that in a day type of thing in the long run. As in, eat less than once per day in comparison to with every meal the way we normally do.

I was okay with spices after week two but afghans don't use the amount of spices that Indians do. Why don't you put a little bit spice, try a spoonful and see how your stomach reacts??

I'm Bengali and I miss rice and roti and my curries :( my surgeon told me to stay away from it for 6months but I don't think I'll eat rice until I hit my goal weight.

I am sorry but I have been outside all day today so I didn't get a chance to see the message. I ate a small amount of basmati rice two months out. It filled me very quickly but as expected, I was hungry shortly after. I have also lost my appetite for rice. I don't like it and I don't miss it.

Isn't it such a challenge to track calories with our dishes?? There are a gazillion things that we put in one dish. It's scary and leaves us with very limited options on the menu.

Without rice or roti, there is nothing we can have for a meal.

Lema, I'm in London - I had my surgery on the 15th Sept. Where are you from? When did you have your surgery? So far I've stayed away from our dishes. I'll have the odd soft chicken when I cook for hubby and the kids.

Hello I'm from Pakistan

Two more days and i will be 1 month out of surgery

Well my doctor suggested me to try minced chicken mutton and lentils and Beans but very soft after I complete a month

To be honest i miss desi food a lot I'm someone who loves spicy food and biryani

But I'm controlling

I would stay away from rice as much as possible and roti/nan

Because they will reduce my weight loss.

Btw when did you have your surgery?

I am from Canada but I did my surgery at Mexico because my bmi was low but my health issues were too many on top of the pcos.

I will eat one meal the normal stuff of what everyone else eats unless it's rice or something very unhealthy.

My first nasty experience after surgery was with nan and chicken. Nan is too chewy and elasticky and I was only a month out. I don't know what I was thinking.

      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.

        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!
