I just moved to purees. I was only able to take in 260 calories yesterday.

I drank 1 Isopure and could only get 1-2 ounces of scrambled eggs and later 1-2 ounces of tuna in. Doesn't feel right to get that low. Is that safe? My NUT said my calories would drop when I started purees,but it seems low.

total was

carb-4

protien-52

calories-264

Fiber-2

Should I add in drinking one of my naked or bolthouse Protein drinks. I could add 200 and get 16 more Proteins. I just need to find the time.

It took me about 3-4hours to drink the Isopure and seriously with the waiting before and after and the slow eating both the eggs and tuna take up about 1.5 hours each. The rest of the time I am full or drinking Water.

Also...exercise has turned into me pacing around my living room. It was leisurely walks out side but this happened:post-56987-1381366527806_thumb.jpg

Maybe people are tired of vsg. Less comments nowadays. But don't worry about ur intake. Eat enough to keep yourself from being lethargic. Your eating will increase.... believe me.

I think that as long as you are getting in all your liquids and Protein right now is the important thing, I was taking a low amount of calories too at that stage. As you are able to eat more it will go up, I'm only taking in 500-550 cal a day, I could up it but I get so busy through the day I don't have time to keep eating. Good luck to you.

Hi! Take your Vitamins and stay hydrated-- can u add yogurt cottage cheese apple sauce? Watch the carbs in the juice drinks -- they cause me cravings-- also try salmon packets and silk lite unsweetened soy milk-- it's sweet and yummy! Good luck! Your doing great it takes time! I'm a lil over 2 months!

I'm almost 3 weeks out and can barely get in 300 calories my Dr recommends 800 at this stage. I can't for the life of me figure out how in the world I am supposed to accomplish that!

      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.

        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!
