@@slareau I just had my 6 week check in with my doc (6 weeks on Monday) and he said it's normal to be anywhere from 500-800 cals a day and between 40-55g of Protein a day. He and my nutritionist both agree that Protein from food is where its at and not to worry about shakes or drinks anymore. It's also unrealistic to give a goal of 60g a day when we're eating so few calories.

Breakfast - fage plain greek yogurt; 1oz of flaxseed and a tsp of honey

lunch - 4oz of salmon and some sauteed spinach

dinner - homemade meatball, sashimi, salmon, tilapia, sweet potato mash

snack - string cheese but my doc recommended a slide of roast beef or turkey or any deli meat instead

Nutritionist recommended snacking on Peanut Butter, a 1/4 green apple or cucumber to help with acid.

Hi. I'm almost 4weeks out. Had surgery 10/29/14. Highest weight 305, surgery weight 297, current weight 273.6. I had no problems post-op, no pain. I only had gas the day of my surgery. I'm frustrated because since surgery I've only lost 11#. This is day 3 on soft/puréed foods. I seem to tolerate the foods well, just not much at a time. For the last week I've been feeling really tired. And I'm constipated,lol

@@ladybug, have you had your 4 wk check up yet? Try Phillips milk of magnesia for the Constipation. You may be in a stall already. You did lose almost 30 pounds, your body has to adjust. I know how you feel, ive lost about 24 pounds and im 7 wks out tomorrow. Hang in there :-)

@"peekaboo" I had my two week checkup already. I don't go back for 3 months. I did try MOM. It worked, a little too well lol! I think part of my problem is Water retention. Before surgery I was on lasix, but they took me off it because it might cause dehydration.

Ladybug, I think I retain Fluid too but haven't been on any meds for it. So I guess you lost a couple pounds after MOM :-)

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
