14 Days Out. Am I Eating And Drinking Too Much?



Recommended Posts

I am 2.5 weeks out from my surgery and I often think that I too eat too much, for example, today I had a 4 to 6 oz protien shake for Breakfast some chicken broth w saltine crakers for lunch. dinner was chicken and stars Soup, and I also had about 5 pieces of sandwich meat with cheese and I have had Water to drink today with a 8oz glass of juice. I know I am a little further out than you but I still get a little concerned.

My only thought is are you getting in enough Protein each day. This is the most important to keep your body functioning well.

I got sleeved on 9/18, I started stage two on 9/19, a typical day for me includes the following.

Portion sizes should be 3-4 ounces or the size of your palm.

i also try and drink addtl Fluid throughout the day.

This is all guidlines by my nutrtionist, and i am down about 30 pounds so far.

      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!
