I am exactly 7 weeks out today and until about a week ago I was doing just fine - I could tolerate everything and was doing really well with both Water and Protein.

Well that's all changed....now nothing seems to agree with me. My stomach feels icky/nauseous every time I eat (or even think about eating). I'm not getting my protein, not getting nearly enough liquid and fighting to get about 600-700 calories a day.

Has anyone else gone through this? Any suggestions or tips? It's getting really frustrating! Not to mention my weight has stalled for over a week as I'm not getting enough calories. And I dont have any energy to exercise. :(

600-700 calories is almost at normal for where you are at. You might bump it up a couple more hundred calories.

Are you taking any Vitamins?

Yes - Iron, B12, Calcium, Biotin and a multi. My levels are all really good - was just tested the other day.

The Dr said I should be closer to 1000 a day now. And I was getting into the 900s for a few weeks....and that's when I was losing. Now I'm not losing.

I am exactly 6 weeks post vsg today. I understand where you are coming from..sort of. I too can hardly eat anything other than Protein shakes and if I am lucky a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese a day. Even fluids are tough still. I average 800 calories a day. I had my 6 week post op with my nutrition

Ist yesterday. She was happy with my progress. I was also told during my pre op,seminars that our new tummies can be just fine today and cranky as heck tomorrow with no rhyme nor reason. Just my thoughts...

      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!
