I have a NuWave, and use it pretty much every day. Between that and the range top, I don't really even need an oven.

I think it works similarly to an air fryer.

The other gadget I'm thinking about is an instant pot pressure cooker.

I have a nuwave too, I haven’t had an oven for years. Love the nuwave also. You can cook a lot of great things in there.

Apparently the air fryer does a good job making things crispy and flaky (like real fried food). The nuwave cooks larger quantities and makes things moist.

Since I've never really gone for fried food, I don't miss it. The Nuwave works for me. But for people that want healthy fried food, the air fryer sounds like a winner!

If things don't come out as crisp as you'd like you can spray a little olive oil on them before cooking, and it helps to crisp up. I do that with my wings.

I guess I should clarify.. if you put breaded chicken nuggets into the nuwave, its like they were baked in an oven.. NOT like they were microwaved. (I have kids.. no nuggets for me).

Thanks for the tip about adding a bit of oil..I'll try it out!

Ha! Looks like I will be adding this to my list of things I will treat myself to. I'm buying an air fryer.

      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!
