I'm assuming my new tummy is pretty swollen because I'm definitely not getting in the ounces or calories I thought I would be. I was actually pretty nervous about following the post-op liquids only diet but it's been much better than I thought.

I am trying to stay hydrated and not be overly concerned with Protein right now.

My liquid diet so far is as follows:

Breakfast - 3 oz. of warm tea mixed with 1 spoonful of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder

snack - 2-3 oz. of Water or Water mixed w/ crystal light

lunch - 2-3 oz. of warm low sodium chicken broth mixed with 1 spoonful of Unjury

Snack - about 1/2 a container of Jell-O, 2-3 oz water

dinner - 3 oz. of warm tea (or broth) mixed with 1 spoonful of Unjury unflavored Protein Powder

Water whenever I think of it. Sip, sip, sip!

Gas pains are getting better as I've been walking. I haven't walked outside yet because we

are having nasty Santa Ana winds today :(

I am following this liquid diet for another 9 days so hopefully it'll be this easy next week!

      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.

      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!
