I'm almost 5 weeks post op. I get 65-85 grams a day.

One Protein shake-30 grams.

Various other high Protein soft foods fill in the remaining 35-55 a day.

I am 3 weeks post op today. I am getting 60 G Protein a day by drinking 2 Premier shakes(11oz each). Honestly, getting enough liquids is my biggest challenge.

Nutritionist recommended 90 gr8. I am 10 days post open and managed this since the 4th post opinion day mainly because of unflavored Unjury.

I am averaging 60 to 70. I'm trying to cut back on Protein shakes but I'm still having 1 and 1/2 a day.

At that point I was getting 100-110 g per day (it's a guy thing), which is still what it is at five years later (as it should be - these are generally maintenance levels of Protein we are trying to hit.) Doc added veg to my diet at the 10 day mark since at 90 g I was at a more than satisfactory level at that time.

I am 30 days post op. I get a min of 60 but aim for 80. In the last week I was averaging 75.

My main source lately has been a shake I have for Breakfast made of 5oz fairlife milk, 5oz fairlife chocolate milk, 1 tbs GENEPRO and 1 tbs PB2. Its 242 cals and 48g Protein. It takes me 2-3 hours to drink it, but most cause I forget its there when at work.

      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!
