Aaarrrrggghhhh, I was banking on the unflavored unjury. I really need to find a way to get in more protien. I feel weak a lot and I'm almost sure it's from lack of eating/protien... Just started taking Gummy Vitamins so hopefully that helps.

I'd been at about 300 calories a day, and I'm having to eat 4-5 times a day or more to get 500+ calories. Once I started eating real foods, I started feeling better and less weak. My doctor told me it could be from lack of Protein or lack of calories.

That's me now, I can't take the shakes and as soon as I start eating I'm full, or I feel that pressure. But I'm still in the mushy stage, so hopefully when my stomach is no longer swollen it'll be easier to eat. For now I am averaging 300 - 500 calories a day. I do eat a lot of fish so I'm hoping that helps with my protien. It's also hard to drink 64oz in liquids a day...lol I didn't do it b4 surgery smh.... Hopefully I get my ish together soon.

It just takes time. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks for me, and I'm doing great if I get 40g of Protein a day. I'm trying, though.

Hi, I got mine done of 5/8 and since I am having no trouble consuming either my liquids or my shakes I am starting to wonder about when I start on some mushy food. Is that so much different than the full liquid diet in terms of feeling restriction? Yesterday was my two week mark.

For me, and the things I'm allowed on a mushy diet, it WAS a huge difference. When is your first follow up? I'd wait until your doctor progresses you.

I had mine done 5/7 my doc progressed've 12 days later. Truth be told i'm still mostly on liquids, I have slowly added in fish, yogurts and cheese mostly really soft foods. I myself am still looking for some alternatives. Still need to get more Proteins & liquids but i'm working on that :)

My Dr won't advance me for another week but when he does I hope to feel that true restriction because isn't that what its all about? So far I have been able to drink as much as I want on this full liquid stage.

      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.

        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!
