It's my all time fave! Has anyone tried it post band? I think it might be difficult because of the injera. I'm thinking about breaking my pre-op to say goodbye. I know, I know, I have "last supper syndrome" but I feel like if I knew I'd be able to have it later - no big deal, but never again? What do you all thnk?

I eat Ethiopian food. I can tolerate injera. it's very moist and relatively easy to get down compard to most non-toasted breads I've tried (though I have no bread intolerances so far, it's just easier). If it proves to be a problem for you, just be "that" guy and ask for a fork. :rolleyes:

Don't break your pre-op diet. There are posts & posts on why this is bad, including having surgery cancelled.

Okay, that makes me feel better. "Never" is a hard concept to swallow. I was just reading up on injera and it appears to be actually pretty good for you. Since it's made with teff it's gluten free and high in protien, Fiber and all sorts of minerals. I will wait. It's nice to have something to look forward to.

I love Ethopian. A lot of the foods are stewed, meat and veggies and all, and it's spicy, and warm and yummy! I haven't had a really hard time with the bread, it's spongey, a different consistency than your average bread, so as long as you take small bites and chew, it should be fine.

where do you all live that you can get Ethiopian food? ??? I'm all for trying new things, but they don't have anything like that in my neck of the woods. We just got a middle eastern restaurant. they have zuccinni fritters with fluffy eggs that are to die for. They put greek yogurt on top. YUM! But that's about as unusual as we get round here.....

I'm in Missouri. We only have one Ethiopian restaurant that I know of, but tons of Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, even a Polynesian.

      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!
