Got up and worked out at home this morning. So far today I have had: dry Protein Cereal, a Protein Bar, a multigrain fruit bar, a fage plain yogurt with honey, a 100 calorie pack of trail mix, three bottles of Water and a cup of coffee and I am starving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For lunch, I have some chicken both, going to add some cut up chicken strips and a Protein Bar. I want some tater tots sooo bad. Just a few. Ugh!

Are you trying to kick a carb habit after going back on the carb wagon? How many carbs are in the "protein cereal", "protein bar", fruit bar, and trail mix you had?

I will admit that I awful with tracking food. I hate it, I think there is about 17 in the Protein bar and 20 in the fruit bar. Not sure about the Cheerios Protein Cereal or the trail mix. There were only snack bag sizes so maybe not too much.@@JamieLogical

My thought was just that maybe if you are getting in a lot more carbs than Protein, you Snacks aren't really keeping you full feeling as long as they might if you focused more on high protein snacks? But even if it was all carbs, that does seem like a lot to have eaten and still be hungry. So far all I've eaten today is a protein bar and some cheese and it's already 2:00pm here. Will be having my afternoon snack in a few minutes though.

@@JamieLogical what you said makes sense. My doc and NUT told me to increase my liquid Protein which will keeps me fuller. Also, to increase my calorie intake because I am not eating enough food. I didn't really believe it at first but I think they are right. I need to stop being so hardheaded.

It does sound like you are getting a lot of carbs and maybe not as much protein as you think you are. In regards to the Cheerios Protein cereal, they are actually being sued for making misleading claims about it's protein content-- see this article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/nancyhuehnergarth/2015/11/13/is-cheerios-protein-a-sugar-bomb-with-just-a-smidge-more-protein/

@lauraellen80 Wow!! Thank you for that. I will definitely stop eating them or definitely cut back on how much I do eat of them. I am going to switch over to mostly veggies and leave some of the carbs alone. After a year and a half, I should have them thing down pat by now. Geesh. :(

I often top my Greek yogurt with a couple tablespoons of a lower-sugar, higher-Protein granola. Bear Naked and KIND are the ones that I've found with the best stats.

      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!
