I was only eating around 300 calories and less than 20g carbs a day. My surgeon wanted me to eat 3 meals a day but wasn’t able to eat enough to get any calories or carbs in!! So I had to start eating small meals several times a day. Now I eat at Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner and snack. I’m getting around 600 calories and closer to 30 or 40g carbs a day. The first day I did it, I felt like I was eating way too much and worrying about bad habits by eating several times a day. But that’s what it takes to be able to increase my calories and carbs and get the scale moving again. My stall was exactly 3 weeks long. A very long 21 days.

I am a year out and have lost 113 pounds. Every single stall I have had has been relieved by upping my calories. Currently I eat abt 1400 a day w 60 to 85 g of Protein.

That is an interesting observation!

I don't know if I prolonged my stall by drinking wine, but I cut that our and scale is moving again. What a crazy month!! Hopefully things are more smooth next month.

Isn't it funny how 600 calories feels like too much now? Lol

I remember one of my last meals before my pre-op diet was a Wendy's double with cheese, baconater fries, large Coke, large frosty.. Total of 2270 calories! And that was only my lunch!!

      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!
