I'm 10 weeks post op and not really sure if I'm eating too much. I eat till I get the full but not overly full chest feeling. I normally eat 2 to 2.5 oz of chicken and then 2 oz of a veggie(boiled broccoli or green Beans so far) Is that too much you think?

I don't think that's too much. If it's well chewed and you're not feeling uncomfortably full, it sounds like you'll have no trouble getting that Protein goal met. I'm at about 19 weeks and I can probably eat 3 ounces of chicken on a good day. Of course, it all depends on what other nutritional choices you're making throughout the day. :)

At that point in my journey, I ate about 2 oz of meat (chicken, salmon, or hamburger) at a time along with 1 oz of green Beans. At nearly 9 months post-op (for reference), I eat about 3 oz of chicken and salmon and about 2 oz of hamburger at a time along with 1 oz of green beans. I could easily eat more; I just don't. I have planned my meals around set amounts, not feeling "full."

I'd say your amounts are on point.

[mention=313397]EmmyJ[/mention] I normally eat one egg with a tablespoon of turkey sausage crumbles and a tablespoon of low fat cheese for Breakfast. lunch is either a tuna packet or 2oz of deli meat with a light string cheese. I eat two Snacks that are 80 calorie low fat Greek yogurt or 2 string cheeses (depends on if I had string cheese for lunch) and dinner is 2 to 2.5 oz of meat (chicken or pork) and 2 oz of a veggie. I normally drink a shake or a Protein Water in the evenings. Sound good? I'm really starting to 2nd guess myself.

      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.

      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!
