Thanks for your feedback everyone.

I think I will go with long extending Protein shake for bed time and bar for my afternoon snack. The brand of extended Protein I use is Syntax Matrix.

Morning snack is either energy squares and recovery shake before and after run 3 days a week or eggs/turkey sausage on non running days.

Morning Breakfast (6am) is usually a Protein Shake and green veggie drink following an early morning dash on my treadmill.

I try and do a vigorous 1 mile hill run full out (7 mph) every morning at 5:30am when I wake on an empty stomach to wake me up before work. It leaves me with sweat pouring off my face, but really helps. This is like a quick jolt to start my day out right irregardless if it is a running day or not.

Geez, do you ever eat any food:)?

Yup, 5-6 x a day at 150 calories or so. Slowly increasing more as I study what it does to my weight. The hard part is when I get hungry in between meals sometimes (usually between 11-12). Have to grin and bear it. Drink my Water. Eventually it subsides or it is time to eat.

      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!
