I see two things on your list of regularly eaten foods that may be causing you problems. The first is Soup. What kind of Soup. That is a slider food for me because it is liquid. I can drink, ounce wise, way more than I can eat in solid food. 8 oz versus 2 oz. The other is "tuna salad". What is in your tuna salad? mayo? You can be getting huge amounts of fat and salt in your diet from both those things. Are you using something like myfitnesspal.com to track your food? I have to be careful because I have a fat tooth and it would be really easy for me to double my daily calories with fat.

I still don't understand how I am able to even eat that much? Everything I have read has said I shouldn't be able to eat more than 600 calories a day.

I am afraid to try meat this soon. I was going to wait another 3 weeks before I do that. The only thing that's made me sick since the surgery is the smell of eggs. It's weird because I liked eggs before the surgery.

The foods I have been eating are:

Cottage cheese

string cheese

Soups (getting so tired of soup)

really finely chopped up tuna salad

Protein bars

occasionally I will have a few bites of a potato when I'm craving something to sink my teeth into

All the foods I eat are on my list of foods my doctor gave me. They said Protein Bars are fine as long as they are low carb and low sugar (which they are).

200 calories is too much for a meal? How many should I be eating per meal? Also, I'm very scared of losing my hair. That's why I have been so diligent with the Protein intake.

I was sleeved on 1/31/13. I am down 16lbs to plus 12 pre op and I am thrilled. I am down 28 lbs in 28 days. How could I not be happy about that?

I eat 500-600 calories a day, I focus on high Protein low carb food. But, I make all of my own food. I eat eggs, pureed homeemade chili, ricotta bake and then I mix in some light greek yogurt and cheese. I feel great. Do I feel like I could eat more? Yes, sometimes. But I don;t. I use My fitness pal, track every calorie and I am happy with my progress.

I would reduce your calories, drink more fluids and avoid processed foods like Protein Bars.< /p>

      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!
