I wasn't given a number, just Protein first, veggies next, then fruits. After all that, there insnt really much room left for carbs. Also was told that carbs must be mixed with protein.

I was advised just like slowtogo

The only thing my Dr told me to count was 64 ounces of hydration a day

Eat Protein first then if after 3 ounces I am still hungry I can have a veggie not corn or peas

fruit only as a small dessert again only if I am still hungry which never happens

I don't think I dump unless I over eat

I have friends that dump from the smell of baking Cookies not sure why I am different but I am

I've lost 85 lbs. since my surgery in July. The only carbs I ingest are incidental, that is they are part of the vegetables/nuts/fruits that I eat. My diet consists of ZERO grains now--it is basically the paleo diet, except I eat no honey, and only a few fruits & berries. I am convinced that this is good for me and my current life style. I guess the most important thing is sustainability. Can you see yourself eating like this "forever"? I can! I feel so wonderfully healthy right now I could run into the streets & shout about it! Haha, guess not...

      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!
