I eat about 800-1' date='000 in a day. I usually get around 90-100 grams of Protein in and I'm STILL not losing. I've been stalled for almost a month! It's so scary! I track everything that goes in to my mouth! So depressing. It seems like inches are coming off though because I've dropped 2 pants sizes this month, but have lost nothing...[/quote']

During stalls your body will lose the inches. One morning out of the blue you will step on the scale and the pounds will drop.

As for calories and protein goals. Keep in mind that one gram of protein = 4 calories. So if you are getting 100grams of protein you are also taking in 400 calories.

This is crazy to me! I am 7 months out and can easily eat 1300 + calories if I wanted to. I have track it all or I will eat to much.

That's exactly how I am... If I don't track, I could easily probably reach 1800 calories/day. I have to watch every bite that goes in to my mouth.

I met with my nutritionist yesterday and she told me to intake between 700 and 900 calories. I have the surgery on December 20 so it may be different for you. She told me eventually I will be working up to 1200 cal. She also told me that yr intake should be 35% Protein, 35% Carbs and 30% fats. Hopefully this helps!

      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!
