I use MyFitnessPal.com religiously. My clinic was very restrictive on their recommended plan - from what I have read here more restrictive than most. So, up until I was six moths along I was only allowed 1/2 cup of food per meal. 3 ounces of Protein and one Tablespoon of a fruit, a vegetable, or a starch. At six months I was to get 80 grams of Protein a day - that has only increased to a limit of 90 grams today. My protein normally is the mid 80s each day.

I looked back at MyFitnessPal.com, and about 25% to 35% of my calories are coming from carbs each day. My total calories a day are normally between 650 - 750, with 800 calories being my limit.

Regarding carbs, I love them! I miss them!! I have found that drinking more Water helps with the cravings. I also have not completely denied myself when there is something I really want. I take one or two bites, no more. I don't do it every day.

Hopefully you will find a way through the cravings. I have found that shear determination really can make all the difference. It is NOT EASY!! But the reward is SO worth it!

Breakfast

Premier Protein shake (1/2 shake)

20 ounces Water

Mid-morning

Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yorgurt (80 calories)

1Tablespoon ground flax seed

lunch

Pure Protein Bar (Chocolate Deluxe)

dinner

Protein to get to about 85 grams for the day. This could be chicken, steak, pork chops, salmon, chili...

1 cup of romaine lettuce, four croutons, 2 Tablespoons light Salad Dressing.< /p>

After Dinner

Premier Protein Shake (second half)

Not including the shake I drink 80 to 100 ounces of water a day. If you have questions, just let me know.

      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!
