You should have a plan that was given to you. My surgeon required that I get 70 grams of Protein in a day. I could have as few as 3 shakes or as many as 5, but my total caloric intake was under 1000 calories. Check your particular plan requirements to see what they say.

broth I'd drink hot, because the idea of cold broth just sounds gross. Don't forget about tea, too. Tea is amazing.

Basically you substitute your meals with the shakes. I would recommend calling back and asking them for more specifics, because that sounds terrible they didn't provide you much guidance. You want to get a Meal Replacement shakes. My surgeon recommended Bariatric Advantage shakes, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is popular too. My two weeks went like this: shake made with Water and a little fruit or milk (not fruit AND milk, too many carbs!) in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I had about 1/2c of steamed broccoli every day. I could have up to 5 shakes a day, but I found that after the first week, I was having trouble eating even 3 of them.

If you've been instructed to take any supplements, make sure you get those in, too. Get your 64 oz of Water a day and remember that even though it's going to be hard, it's worth it :)

      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!
