:thumbup: Hi Everyone! Has anyone had a problem eating chocolate or Peanut Butter since banded? I'm wondering if it is what's giving me terrible heart burn and/or gas? eek.gif I know I shouldn't even be eating it, but at Easter I just couldn't resist!!! OOPS! I never noticed heartburn or problems with gas before?

I was weak at easter and ate a bad for you treat, I felt really bad, but got back on the program right away. I have the low cal moose or Jello instead now.

it sure helps.

When were you banded? Have you had a fill? Is it possible you're too tight? Reflux/heartburn can be a symptom of a too tight band.

I have had Peanut Butter a few times with no problem, chocolate, I've only had one or two pieces at christmas, none since, but it was not a problem.

There is chocolate Dip that is sugar free and claims to have zero calories that helps me a lot. It is made by Walden Farms and I usually find it near or about the produce section of Shop Rite. It is not easy to come by but well worth the search. I add it to yogurt, coffee, fruit, etc. and it is good. There seems to be nothing bad in it but who knows-cannot read the words anyway-HA HA

It is very enjoyable and I hope you find it and enjoy it too. Be well.

chocolate can be irritating if you have reflux... might want to check with your doctor!

Fran, I checked out their website and they have a lot of products. Very interesting, I may have to order a few. Unfortunately they charge $8.95 shipping for up to 10 items. I don't know if I want to buy 10, but I may try a few. I have never seen these in my stores at home. Thx for the idea. Laura

      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!
