I am about to hit my one year mark in a few months and was curious to see how much everyone eats at this point. I am also proud to say that I no longer have high blood pressure anymore at the age of 26..whoohoooo

Are you still eating every two hours? How much are you eating in a setting? How much can you drink in a setting? Some people count calories at this point but my doctor doesn't want me to worry about that. Any bad habits come back?

I, schedule myself to eat every two hours. It's easy for me because I stay home. I can drink about 3/4 of a cup at a time which is probably too much. If I'm on the go I always carry a bottle of Water and some nuts/apples so I don't get too hungry. My worst habit is bored eating and probably taking big bites. I have only gotten sick once since my surgery and it was my own fault for stuffing too much food at once too quickly.

Congrats on the loss and on that beautiful blood pressure!!

I still eat no more than 4 oz at a time (snacks are usually 2oz). And I eat about 6 times per day- at least 2 hours apart.

I never really time my drinking.

Worst habit: I forgot to chew a shrimp yesterday, that didn't feel too good. Lol.

And I'm lazy about my Water intake while at work (actually I work in a pretty busy setting and sometimes just can't.) but I'm getting better- all my coworkers are making an effort to drink more water-- which is pretty cool!

And I like Protein suppliements a bit too much... Yeah, crazy.

Thank you! No more bp meds! Do you actually weigh your food or just measure out the 1/2 of cup? Because 4oz of something looks different then 1/2c.

      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!
