Hummus...mmm, a favorite! Snap peas, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, and even pita chips. I’m also almost 9mo out.

Bag of baby carrots, pumpernickel bread wedges, whole grain wasa crackers:)

Also, if you haven't, try hummus on a sandwich/pita/wrap.....hot. It's delicious and common in other parts of the world.

Hummus is easy to make. Just chick peas, garlic, olive oil, lemon and sesame paste... zap it in the food processor...takes just a few minutes and fresh is so good! (maybe a little cumin or paprika)

I have found lentil chips - baked, full of Protein, make me as happy as potato crisps, and great with hummus!

What does everyone eat with hummus besides a spoon.

I've never eaten a spoon. :-)

I have a thin coating of hommus on a Ryvita crispbread before adding shaved chicken or sliced poached egg or Tomato or avocado or some combination thereof.

I use it as a veggie dip -- celery, carrots, radishes. Sometimes peppers. Sometimes I'll also put it on a turkey burger.

Are you talking about shortly post-op, OP? I've been wondering the same thing. My favorite hummus vehicle is warm, soft, fluffy pita but I know bread doesn't go down well for awhile, too Gummy. So I'm thinking maybe mixed in with Beans? Or just, like you said, eaten with a spoon.

There are delicious high-fiber crackers that are made with seeds and super healthy. I like the Mary's Gone Crackers brand the best and they have a few herb flavors. Found them at Target and food Lion but I'm sure they're at other places too.

Where do you find lentil chips?

75% of Australian supermarkets have them.

Trader Joe’s has them. Be careful, they can cause painful gas if you eat too many; however, i binged on them last year before surgery. Probably would get too full on them, especially with hummus, before it would get to that point now since the sleeve.

      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!
