working out a diet post - op



Recommended Posts

Today is my first day on this site. I reckon I've been avoiding it. Reading some of your posts I feel really ashamed of my miserly 15lbs weight loss since my surgery on 22/3/13. I am really struggling with finding a diet that makes me feel full but I won't over eat. I know i can stil over-eat and its only the presence of my gf thats stopping me. I don't really feel uncomfortable full at all. I already have 7ml in and I can only get 14ml.

what am I doing wrong?

What would you guys suggest?

Throw the scale out the window. You already know what to eat and how much.

Get your butt in gear and get moving. Exercise, Exercise and Exercise.

Walk the dog, play ball with the kids, better yet, be a kid, go out and ride your bike.

no need to diet. eat your allotted amounts (eat fresh veggies/fruit and lean protein) drink alot and move (any exercise).....its working...you just need to help it..and just because you can overeat doesnt mean you should...hang in there.....and ANY lose counts...no matter the number.

tex is right, move it..

      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!
