I just received a call from my doc and you are right no bacon or red meat, I don't know how I skip that part. I will have to ask about the 900 cal. a day she might give me that allowance to get the 60-80gms of Protein in.

Am so glad you spoke with your doc. See what they say about the calorie intake. This way I will also know how much should be the intake. But yes the protein amount is correct which my doc also said to stay in that range. I love this forum...we learn so much from each other and support each other and want to see each other succeed.

Before surgery I bought a ton of the GNC lean 25 Protein Shake and I still have so much that I just use that brand. I bought 6 boxes cause it was buy and get second at 50% off. And then I also bought ready made ones that I can take with me to work. So I am still using them. I bought every flavor except banana. vanilla, Cookies and cream, chocolate, strawberry and mixed berry is excellent. I also got orange which is ok but not my favorite. Today I used the orange with fat free Greek vanilla yogurt to make a shake and it was good. Try out the GNC Lean 25 and you can try them in small packets or ready made ones in their fridge to see if you like them and then buy bigger ones. Let me know how it goes.

I'm 9 weeks out and I consume around 700 calories in a day on average. sometimes less but it really depends on what i'm eating. I get my Protein from skim milk,greek yogurt,cottage cheese and fish mostly. I also eat string cheese on occasion as well. refried Beans are a great source of Protein I have found out and they fill you up. When I really need to get my protein in I will drink a Premier Protein shake as it has 30grams per container.

Wait about a 2 mins to make sure it's in your pouch if not you will start to reflux. I'm 4 wks out and learning everyday.

      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!
