I know I'm not eating enough, I'm just not hungry. Oh well, I may have to force myself to eat. The good news is I found out that Decaf iced tea is something my body loves to drink. I drink about 26 oz of it a day currently (and it counts as Water for me). I'm also looking into a gym to get my exersize in.

Hey PJ! I talked to my NUT today. She said once our bodies get that basal or rock bottom amount of calories needed to function THEN our bodies will let the pounds go. I guess my body thinks I'm trying to kill it so it's in survival mode. My basal calorie intake was 1,300 before I lost any weight. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is a marathon if weight loss, not a sprint. BTW I have trouble getting my fluids in too. If I get fluids in then protien is low that day. If I eat better then my Fluid intake is low. Go figure!

Since I know I'm not eating enough, when I do eat, it's always Protein. Deli meat and/or cheese. What a boring diet. Oh, I recently threw in some shrimp. My PA did not want me doing the Protein Drinks after my 4 weeks' visit and I do get 64 ounces of Water. At month three, they do a test to check on any Vitamin deficiencies and stuff, so I have some time for my body to adjust. I think the surgery shocked it. :)

PJ......I'm there with you! Not getting protein/water in like I should. I know this has to be a priority of mine as I'm sure I would be feeling a little more energetic than I am after 5 weeks. I also have to SLOW DOWN when I do eat! Tonight....not so good. Too fast and my tummy let me know by bringing it back up :-( Not something I want to happen on a regular basis!

I know how you feel about the deli meat. Have you tried tuna? I even threw in a couple jalapeño slices with the fat free mayo. My tummy liked it ;)

      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!
