How many carbs are you getting in? My guess is not enough. At 6 mos out, depending on your activity level, I'm thinking you should be somewhere between 75 and 100 g/day. How close to goal are you?

And I'm talking about good carbs, not cookie carbs. Cooked veggies, fruits and whatnot.

I went through a fatigue phase early on and this is what my NUT told me. Increase my carbs. Have you consulted your NUT?

YES I was still soooo tired at 6 months. I had stopped taking my Vitamins (mistake). Make sure you are taking your Vitamins and eating enough. B6 should help too.

Have your doctor check your blood work to see if your Iron levels are OK.

OH NO! Please do not mess with this! I have been trying to get my ferrtin levels up for months now and I just can't seem to do it. Now I have to double up on my multi Vitamin and I was taking Iron (SOOO GROOOSSS). But I do feel better. I was so weak, and tired and cold and felt sick, not a good place to be.

Just make sure you take your Vitamins with food, and you should be good to go :) best wishes!!!!

      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!
