I had a plan and I stuck to it! Food does not control me



Recommended Posts

Today is the first day I actually know exactly what I took in. I set alarms to remind me when to eat and drink, I counted and recorded my calories and Protein. Ya'll just don't know how huge that is for me I made a plan and I stuck to it drank my Water, boiled some eggs, went to the gym, carried a lunch bag that contained my Protein shakes, Jerky, turkey sticks, string cheese, ect. Enjoyed a veggie burger with lettuce & Tomato for dinner. I did not get hungry between meals and I did not eat anything that I didn't plan to. This is my life I'm accountable and I'm finally taking control.

Glad to here that. I am all over the place. The full liquid is difficult. I am not sure what to eat. So I ache been eat cream of chicken and black bean Soup. I take my Vitamins three hours apart. I'm luck if I get 16 ounces of Water. I really don't know to do about the puréed week.

during my liquid phase I drank broth, cream of chicken soup, tea, flavored water Jello, as I could tolerate a little more I added cream of wheat. It know feels like a lot right but you have to get more liquid in so you don't get dehydrated and end back up in the hospital. I'm almost 12 weeks out and just getting it together again. Good luck with your continued progress.

It varies but for the most part every couple of hours alternating between food and fluids... for example i get up at 6am I have 8 oz of Water to re-hydrate from sleeping, 7am breakfast(usually 1 boiled egg or scrambled), 9am (water, tea, or shake), 11am , 1pm , 3p, 5p, 7p after 7 I don't have anymore food or Snacks just fluids

      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!
