Hiatus Hernia

Hmmm, just been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia last week, so I'm experimenting a bit with different foods to see what triggers it.
Mint! Who knew? And there I was always drinking mint tea for my digestion, lol.
Chocolate will be tough to give up, but I'm happy with the odd square of dark once or twice a week. Giving up wine is going to be harder.
I'm being more aware of what I eat and how my innards feel afterwards. Today the biggest rumble game after I'd eaten a packet of Yu dried fruit, so obviously sugar has an immediate effect.

Feeling great this morning - managed to stay off the wine last night and was rewarded with a good solid night's sleep, and a scale reading of just under 140 this morning - woohoo!
Also being cautious about bending over - I'll squat down properly instead.
Husband wants me to see the doctor, but I don't think there's much they can do.0 -

Gosh DottyJo, you've been through a lot! I can understand you being worried about the coming anniversary - can you plan anything special that will not involve food - take flowers to the grave, visit some places that were special to you both?0
