I was wondering how many grams of sugar should I have per day. The highest I've ever consumed in a day was 26g of sugar. I'm still at my stall and was wondering if that's contributing to it. Also how many grams of sugar should I take a day. I'm eating yogurt smoothie which has 12g, then tuna which has 6g, then greek yogurt at 10g, then my Protein which 4g. I'm sorry it's long I'm just freaking out about my stall which I'm at week four of not losing any.

It isn't about the sugar - it's about your macronutrients (protein/fat/carb), what you eat each day, and how active you are. Just focusing on sugar won't tell you what you need to know.

My carb is usually around 50g, my Protein is 50g, I have 0 transfat and my highest saturated fat was 9g. This is approximately what I've been eating since my post op, which was 3 1/2 week ago. I work out very much walking 2 1/2 miles to 3 a day and drink about 50oz of liquid a day.

It looks as though you may want to decrease your carbs and increase your Protein some; and increase your fluids. Depending on your total fats per day, your protein/carb totals are only providing you with 400 calories a day, which is too low, especially if you're walking.

      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.
