Meal #2: 4 oz of cottage cheese with 1 T sugar-free strawberry preserves

Meal #3: 3 oz chicken breast, 1 string cheese, and 10 ParmCrisps

Meal #4: 3 oz salmon, 1 oz green Beans, and 10 ParmCrisps

Meal #5: 3 oz chicken breast, 1 oz green beans, and 10 ParmCrisps

Meal #6: 2 oz hamburger steak (93% lean), 1 oz green beans, and 10 ParmCrisps

Meal #7: 3 oz chicken breast, 1 string cheese, and 10 ParmCrisps

I hope this helps. Good luck!

February Sleever here: I can eat most anything except a steak (not good) and fried potatoes (good:-).

I can hold about 5 ounces of food comfortably. If I take one bite too much I get all these weird sounds coming up that are really embarrassing. With dense food I eat less and I avoid sliders big time because it is difficult to control portions with foods that go down easy.

I occasionally will still drink a Protein Shake in the evening if I haven't gotten all my Protein in for the day. I don't count calories but track 60-100g protein and 50g carbs a day. I started out at 25g carbs but incrementally upped it to 50g and am still losing.

I really have no appetite so eating has to be very intentional. I log all my meals but am not regimented about measuring and weighing anymore. I was at the beginning because I couldn't really gauge a portion. I do weigh or measure new foods. There are still days that I only get about 800 calories but I make sure I get my protein. Most days I am getting about 1,100 cals a day. I don't eat breads or sugar at all.

At this point it feels like I am eating normal portions. I don't feel like I didn't get enough like I did early on. That was all mental more than physical.

Take care

      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!
