I just hit 4 weeks yesterday. My goal for myself on MFP is 850 calories. I normally end up between 700 - 900 since I tend to get a little more in depending on exercise. I'm on full liquids/pureeds now. I normally have Protein Shakes, refried black Beans, ricotta with marinara sauce, Greek yogurt, & tuna most days. If you are on MFP, my name is mygastricsleevelife there too if you want to add me as a friend. I have my food diary as public so everyone can see it. I was doing more creamy Soups, grits, cream of wheat, SF pudding & SF popsicles, but I've been trying to cut those out as I transition to pureeds and also to limit my carbs. Depending on what stage you're at though, you might have to use those things still.

3.5 here, an similar to others. Beans, Greek yogurt, some "bites" I made (buffalo chicken and chicken enchilada..yum!), hummus, canned chicken, avocado, and Protein shakes. Made eggface's baked ricotta this week as well. If you go to my blog you can see my food diary as well as some blog posts on what I've been eating with recipes.

Still struggling to get 600 calories in, but never less than 80-90g of Protein a day.

      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!
