I bought this before my surgery. I was so worried about suggestions on what I would be able to eat. I like to cook, and now that I am 2 months post op, I realize I probably can just wing it, adapting my regular recipes. There are some really interesting recipes, and the advice at the beginning is very helpful. Also, each recipe gives the nutritional breakdown, plus tips on how to adapt it for different WLS, and different post-op stages.

I bought this book after my operation and I highly highly recommend it. I have been eating out of it almost every night. I think this is something every person who has the operation should have. I picked it up on Amazon. I cant rave about it enough.

      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!
