I was told to get in a minimum of 60g of Protein a day. However, I don't do the whole low carb thing, so I have no problem getting in all my veggies too.

I also take a Multivitamin daily. I think it's really important especially when eating such limited calories.

My dr does not have me monitoring as long as I get 3 oz of Protein and veg/fruit when I eat. He only wants me eating when hungry and no Liquid Protein any more. That means 2 meals a day these days. Each dr/nut has different recommendations so check with yours.

this is what i do and it works for me

i try to eat 3-4oz of Protein each meal with my veggies (fruit for a snack)

i do drink a Protein Shake per day to help.

i do this for my Breakfast as i am too tight to eat. (with my dr's okay).

i also take Vitamins to help per my dr and nutritionist instructions.

I don't focus on anything but 1000 calories every day which includes for each meal 3-4 oz of protein, 1/2 c veggies and 1/4 c startch and a snack of fruit.< /p>

      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!
