I'm still not getting in enough Protein. After six weeks post op you would think I would get it by now but NO. I didn't mind the Protein Shakes at the beginning but now I can't stand them. I am only getting in 30 to 40 grams a day. I have the feeling that is why I am only loosing 3lbs a week. Just don't feel like eating and nothing really tastes that outstanding. The thought of eating every 3 to 4 hours is so not working for me. Getting in the fluids is not bad except I forget sometimes. Thanks for letting me vent !

Its tough the first 3-4 weeks, then you find what works best for you and your taste. I am almost a year out and I am still trying different things but my main goal is to get that Protein in no matter what. After time you will find what works best for you.

I know how you feel. I can only get in about 20-30g of Protein and 4c of Water a day. I'm feel so weak and low. And to top it off, I just found out that I'm pregnant. I need help badly.

According to MyFitnessPal I got 75g of Protein today. Only one Protein Drink, the rest in foods. It's all about finding foods with Protein and combining them in ways that taste good.

Thanks everyone,the advice really helped. I went and got several different Protein bars to try. Most have at least 15g of protien and under 4 g of sugar. I really want to speed up my weight loss to 5lbs a week instead of 3.

Congratulations to Jerz on the pregnancy!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
