How many calories are you eating several weeks post op?



Recommended Posts

I’m 7 weeks posts and still get 550-600/day. I’m wondering if that’s too little.

I would say that sounds about right to me.

Are you losing? That’s what I would be concerned with. 500 calories was too low for me but I’m 5’ 10”. My nut bumped me up a few hundred and I found my sweet spot.

I've been staying around 800, but I'm not losing/stalling, so I think I'm going to go back to 600

I am 8 weeks out.

I eat anywhere from 550-800 calories a day. I've noticed on days I do a harder workout, I do eat to the higher end.

I workout 5 days a week.

I am 6 months and just now managing to get 700ish. I was doing 300-400 up until 2 months ago.

I am 15 or so weeks out and I get about 800 to 100 a day. I usually average around 8 or 900. I have lost 65 pounds with 25 more to go, so I must have found the right level!

      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!
