10 weeks out diet?



Recommended Posts

By 10 weeks I was cleared to eat all foods except crunchy things. I had switched to Protein Bars instead of Protein Shakes (was SOOOOO over shakes by then between pre and post-op diets!). I basically ate the same way I eat now. cheese sticks and/or greek yogurt for Snacks. A few ounces of meat for lunch and dinner.< /p>

I am 12 weeks out and have been cleared for a general diet since 7 weeks post op. The only restrictions are fibrous vegetables must be cooked and refined carbs are a no no. They recommend 1 cup of food total per meal 3 times a day and 3 Snacks a day. I can not even come close to eating a whole cup of food in one sitting. 1/4 to 1/2 cup max per sitting is about it depending on what I am eating. I still can't eat 1 whole egg at a sitting no matter how hard I try. It is a challenge every day to meet my Protein goals because of my limited capacity. I am interested in seeing what others are eating and quantities!

I am on a general diet and typically get about 1/2 cup down at each meal. I try and stick with Proteins like chicken, Shrimp, salami, cashews etc for the primary portion of my meal and will add a fork full of vegetables. I snack only sometimes and when I do it's a Protein Bar or veggie straws.

I was sleeved on 11/19 and have lost 62 pounds total - 50 since surgery.

      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.

      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!
