I would think some vegetables would help you more than anything. Good luck!

I guess I'm doing "semi low carb". I eat 1 or 2 servings of fruit most days, and try to choose the whole-grain/complex carbs when I have carbs. I have been keeping my carb load around 80g a day. I've lost 41 lbs and am at 7 weeks post op. Loss is starting to slow, but is still going. My surgeon is good with this plan, she doesn't like to cut out any food groups, just said to stay away from sugar and refined carbs.

I don't avoid carbs, I avoid highly processed or refined carbs (bread, Pasta, rice, sugar). But I eat plenty of fruit, Beans and lentils.

I average about 80g-90g a day. Sometimes as high as 110g-115g. I have lost extremely fast, so I can't imagine the carbs slowed my weight loss at all. I've lost 162lbs in a little less than 8 months.

Good vegetables to get moving are: cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts. They are low carb with plenty of Fiber.< /p>

Oh, and apples are a good fruit, loads of fiber as well.

I was low carb/ketosis until I got to goal. Now is am sort of low carb. Veggies and fruit are on the menu. Even the occasional potato. I still do not eat wheat, rice, bread, Pasta, added sugar or highly processed foods.

      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!
