I'm eating about 600-800 calories a day and exercising 4-5 days a week for an hour. Combination of strength and cardio. I'm a lightweight so I'm only losing about 2-3lbs a week...12-15 since surgery but I'm losing steadily and exercise helps. I eat a variety of foods at this stage including meat and have no problems. I eat mainly all Protein and about 1/4 cup or 2oz per meal.

2-3 lbs a week is great. For a couple of weeks I only lost 1 lb. and one week I lost nothing. I just really started doing more exercising. Before I was only walking for about 30 mins twice a week. Now I'm doing step aerobics about 3 times a week. I'm trying to do more but find it hard to get it in. I admire you for exercising so much. As far as eating goes. I eat eggs, yogurt, cheese, chicken, and my Protein Drinks. and that pretty much seems like all I eat everyday. I need to look up some recipes or something. I just don't feel like cooking me anything since I only eat a small amount of it. I am also struggling to get in my Water. I only drink a total of about 30 ozs a day and that includes a 20 oz Protein Drink. I don't seem to like the taste of water anymore.

Me too! Me and Water aren't the best of friends now. I get in all my Protein from food but struggle with water. I have a Pinterest board called low carb recipes. It has been a godsend. You can follow me www.pinterest.com/rashanawright

Ok. I just followed you. I will definitely look into some of the recipes before I burn myself out on dairy. Lol. I saw that you are into essential oils. I recently started using oils for my kids.

Yes we use essential oils for everything! I even used them to help me recover post op. I put some anti-inflammatory oils in my Water in the hospital to help ease the stomach inflammation so I could get my liquids down. I had really tight restriction.

      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!
