Wow, will I ever?



Recommended Posts

Will I ever be able to eat food like everyone else here seems to?

How do you get your calories in? Especially if you are doing lowfat stuff. I am struggling just to get in 500 calories. Some of you talk about eating 1000 per day. I thought we were supposed to eat 3 meals a day and a planned snack. If we are only supposed to be able to eat a cup full of food at a time how is it possible to get all the calories in? Seems to me I'll barely be able to get the Protein in. Maybe with solid food it is easier to get the calories.

Definitely easier when you move on to mushies and solids. In fact, I get in about 1,300 calories a day and as much as 1,800 if I'm not careful. As far as the Protein goes, are you drinking Isopure? It's a great source of protein - 40 grams in a 20 oz serving - and no carbs.

Good luck.

Yes. Give it time. I still can't eat bread or anything like bread. I also avoid steaks and things like that. I just had my first fill so I am just experimenting at this point. You will figure out what you can eat.

      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!
