Breakfast: 1 to 1.5 eggs scramble with a sprinkle of cheese, and either a piece of turkey bacon or 2 lil smokey turkey sausages.

Snack: Atkins advantage bar or 1-2oz cheese or Quest bar or sf choc Jello mixed with 1/2 scoop of unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder.

lunch: 2-4 oz of sliced turkey meat, cauliflower and some hummus

post workout: Protein shake. just Protein Shake mixed with Water.

dinner: 4 oz of Protein, usually ground turkey/chicken/bison, or fish/tilapia/orange roughy. with veggies

i make sure every meal i have protein, and eat that first before i touch anything else. if i'm full off the protein portion, i'm fine with that.

I never have a problem, since I'm a natural carnivore. meat is my favorite food anyway. That and cheese.

I'm right there with you! Which is why low-carb diets were always my go-to for weight loss. haha

I guess I just need to be more diligent about adding Protein supplements of some kind into my diet. I got my goal yesterday but I also had 2 Protein Shakes (I was on liquids from a fill on Wednesday). Thankfully, my fitness pal tracks protein now so that should be helpful for me :)

This may be unpopular, but I believe Americans are overly-obsessed with Protein. My goal is to eat Protein first, then the veggies, etc., but I don't have a goal for getting a specific number of grams in.....

Having just said that, I do jack up the protein in my Greek yogurt by adding a tablespoon of collagen, which I'm taking for arthritis. This adds 6 grams to the Greek yogurt for a total of 18. It is tasteless but thickens it up a little more, then I add a few nuts and tablespoon or so of gluten-free Cereal of some kind. This makes the yogurt not be a slider for me and I enjoy all that texture, the chewing slow, etc. so the message for satiety passes between the esophagus and brain.

      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!
