Hi all, I am new to this forum. I had my surgery April 14, 2014 at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore Md. I am just looking for a group that can help with holding me accountable. Currently this is where I am:

food Intake: limited to 800 calories daily but most reach no more than 500 Calories

Exercise: 6 times a week

Protein: Approx. 60g

Water: Approx. 50-60oz

I am hoping someone can help me with increasing my Protein and Water intake. it has been a struggle with getting them both in consistently. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Hi! I had my surgery on April 14th as well. Sounds like you are doing great! I think I get about 40 oz of liquid a day. I am having a hard time adjusting to this new lifestyle. Someone suggested I get unflavored Protein Powder and add it into things to up my Protein intake. Maybe you could do that. I also love the Unjury chicken broth protein, sometimes I have it warm in a mug, it has 20g protein....

The best way to get your liquid is to continue to sip, sip, sip.... Body is still healing from major surgery..... Using my fitness pal to track intake to help work to achieve those goals.....

It took me a long time to learn that my new tummy only liked warm beverages....that helped me get to my goals....

Good luck!

Thanks you both. I started with the Premier Protein shakes today. It has 30g of Protein and it doesn't taste too bad. I purchased the strawberry and chocolate. I am a fan of the chocolate but not the strawberry. So, I am hoping with this new Protein shake I will get me protein in for the day.

DenaD, I used the unflavored protein mix (GNC brand) to add protein to my GNC lean shake (25g) but after awhile I couldn't drink it. My sleeve stop like it. I never tried the unjury but I have heard great things about it.

Babysheldon, I am sipping and sipping... my camelback goes everywhere I go but I am still not able to drink the 33oz twice a day and eat.

I am also experiencing ups and downs in my weight lately. I've noticed that I have stuck around this 241 for a week now with my weight going back up to 242 from time to time. Have either of you experienced that?

      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.
