I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and work hard to get my 60 grams of Protein every day. I was curious, how many calories are you all consuming each day?

Is anyone on MFP?

I think a lot of us are on MFP... At 2-4 weeks out I was only getting around 300-400 calories a day. Now I'm 3 months and average between 600-800. Don't worry too much about calories, just try to get that Protein in. It is really hard to do but will get easier. Don't stress too much... it gets better.

I agree with the above statement try and focus on getting in your Protein and Water I am almost 4 months post opt and I am only getting in 800- 900 calories per day and my doctor says that i am doing great as long as I am not tired or for weak i am ok, i work out 5 days a week and get in between 80-100 grams a Protein per day as well as 64 ounces of Water or more , you will see as you get further along it gets easier. And you will begin to feel great as the weight comes off you will have more energy. Congrats on your choice to be healthy and welcome to the losers bench. Keep us posted. I am on fitness pal but do not know how to add people.

      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?

        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!
