DL.... U are my inspiration !!! I am 5 months post op and my nut isn't focusing on calories counted only ounces. She had told me at my 3 month follow up that at that point I should be up to about 4oz per meal 3 times a day with no snacking in between only 2 Protein supplements. But as I'd now I can only eat 2.5-3oz per meal. I'm not worried about my calorie intake at the moment.. I only eat Protein and if I'm lucky a bite of veggie. I have followed all the rules and don't cheat at all. My concern however, is after I reach my goal. How will I know what I'm doing?? You are very informative and knowledgable about calories and conversion and everything I would like to know! I think u should teach a class to new RNY patients!!! Thanks for helping us newbies learn and succeed !!!

Thank you so much - you are too kind. As you can see from my previous post above, we are examining some possibilities for reaching out to folks who might benefit from all of our collective experience. Bariatric surgery is a very broad, very exciting subject. None of us has all of the answers and the ones that we do have are changing almost daily. Each of us makes our contribution and I'm thankful to have the opportunity to participate. You guys have a great day!

      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.
