What does your typical food/water intake look like?



Recommended Posts

My doc has us eating 5-6 times per day and only 1 oz. I am only in week 4 post-op and supposed to focus on eating foods that don't crunch and don't need to be cut with a knife and fork.

Today my menu is planned as follows:

  • 1 oz Chobani 0% yogurt with Just Great Stuff (like PB2) chocolate Peanut Butter and a few slices of banana mixed in
  • 6 Johnsonville Deli Bites
  • 3/4 oz super thinly sliced buffalo chicken deli meat
  • 1/8 of a spicy black bean patty (about 1/2 oz) and a 1/2 oz of Wholly Guacamole
  • 1 oz shredded imitation crab meat
  • 1 IKEA Swedish Meatball and 6 mini fresh mozzarella pearlines.

I am also still using some Protein supplements to get to 60g:

  • 20 oz: 1/2 Isopure, 1/2 flavored Water
  • 20 oz: 1 cup Pure Almond Unsweetened Almond and Coconut Milk mixed with 1 sample pack of vanilla Bean Torte nectar protein, 1 packet of Orange Crystal Light, and 1 cup of cold water

I've been diagnosed with a potassium deficiency (hence the banana appearing in my diet) and I am required to drink one 20 oz Revive Vitamin Water. I have to mix it one part Vitamin Water to 3 parts water, so I will end up drinking about 80 oz of water on top of my Protein drinks today if I do exactly what I was told to do. As much as I want to stop the light headedness and numb face and fingers, I don't think I can drink that much and still get my food in. I will likely only end up with 40 oz of the water mixture by the end of the day. I was surprised to get a recommendation to drink something that had calories and sugar, but if I can only do half in a day, that's an added 60 calories.

Breakfast: Special K Protein meal bar. (10 g of Protein, YAY)

Lunch: Usually 1/4 C of refried Beans topped w/ a little cheddar cheese

Dinner: cottage cheese or yogurt

Snack: 2T of Peanut Butter or 1/4 C of nuts

and I drink Water all day. I'm allowed chicken, turkey, or fish but I've dumped on all meats that I've tried so far.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
