Holy freaking crap! I got all my Protein in and lemme tell you and am soooo freaking full! It took me an hour and a half to eat the 8oz of chicken that it took to get my protein in, but I did it! Two hard boiled eggs for Breakfast and 8oz of chicken for lunch and I really have no desire to eat ANYTHING for dinner... I have lived on chicken and fish for 15 years (I don't eat red meat or pork) but after today if I never eat another piece of chicken it'll be too soon.

8 oz of chicken is like 2 -1/2 servings. I don't think that is the amount that they would want us to eat. I would think that maybe some greek yogurt for snack in the morning and afternoon and maybe a Protein drink to help so you don't have to eat so much meat but 8 oz is more than a normal person's serving and we should be eating less than normal. Unless I read something wrong.

My sample menu says:

Breakfast: 1/2 c cottage cheese or 1 egg with 1 oz cheese.< /p>

Lunch: 2 oz meat 1/4-1/2c veggies

Snack; Protein shake

Dinner: 3 oz meat 1/4-1/2c veggies

I think that gets 70-75 Protein which is my range.

It wasn't all at once - I've been working on it for an hour and a half - basically from about 1:30-3:00. I was basically taking a bite or two every 15mins or so.

Lilee I think you did a great job. It may take you awhile to eat it but you did it. Way to go

Lilee84,

I had to do a double take! All this time, I thought you were the lovely lady in your avatar.... then the comment about your pre-pregnancy pants confused me! Saw in your profile that you can NOT be that lady!

That's my grandmother. She passed away Tuesday so I changed my pic in her memory.

Oh, I am so very sorry for your loss. A grandparent is such a strong and positive influence in one's life. I know you will miss her and cherish her memory forever.

      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'. ???

        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!
