I am currently hooked on apples. I can't eat a whole apple so I core and peel the apples, cut them up and freeze them in my size portions in a ziplock with diet 7-up to keep them fresh.

2 Tbsp. PHILADELPHIA Light Cream cheese Spread or Fat Free

1 medium apple, cored, cut into 8 wedges

1 Tbsp. PLANTERS Dry Roasted Peanuts, chopped

SPREAD cream cheese spread evenly onto apple wedges; sprinkle with peanuts.

Any kind.

It really is unfortunate because although healthy, they are just (for me) very addictive and I rarely stop at a reasonable sized portion...who can eat just 8 almonds?!?!? :)

So, although my favourite, they really have become my downfall...Eve had her apple, with me, it's nuts.:eek:

      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.

      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!
