enough protein and water?



Recommended Posts

How the hell are we supposed to get in enough Protein and liquids in a day? I am lucky to get 2.5 oz of food in per sitting. And that makes me feel stuffed for hours. I struggle with getting in Water. Not because I don't want it, but because I feel so full. I am five weeks out (April 25th)

I am trying to cut down on shakes but my protein intake has decreased substantially.

Hi Josh first off Congrats 2 you, and don't feel alone i am almost 9 months out and still can't finish one Protein shake a day the first few months were bad i couldn't stand the smell of the shakes i didn't start drinking them again untill almost 5 months out once i was cleared for solid foods at week 7 i then got my protein from meats, egg, cheese, yogurt etc and Water did not taste the same after surgery i just didn't want it and could drink very little of it, but hang in there it gets better i promise

      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.

      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!
