Have you met with your surgeon's dietitian yet? S/he will go over this with you - mine is a high-protein, calorie-limited diet. I just track Protein grams and calories in My Fitness Pal.

I didn't have a supervised diet but my surgeon wanted 4 ounces of Protein every 3 hours.

That lasted like 9 days for me lol. I had mix in other things besides just 4 ounces of chicken breast or turkey lol. I started tracking my food on my fitness pal and focusing on Protein first, drinking my Water and walking. Doing that I was able to lose 12 lbs in 3 months.

But I gained some of it back because I'm undisciplined and like food.

They encourage you to eat 3 meals...on a 9" plate they want you to divide your meal 1/4 protein (4 0z), 1/4 carbs, 1/2 veggies;also two 100 cal Snacks... the will give you handouts and visual aids for portion sizes...

Be sure to tell the Nutritionist what you normally eat - not what you think you should be eating. Depending on your history and habits - they may recommend something different than what we've been told. Take notes! There's a lot of info to remember! This is your opportunity to ask questions too.

      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.

        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!
